DESCRIPTION:ABOUT PATRICK MARTINEZ\n\nPatrick Martinez (b. 1980\, Pasadena\
 , CA) is a multidisciplinary artist known for his mixed media landscape pai
 ntings\, neon sign works\, cake paintings\, and the Pee-Chee series. His la
 ndscapes are abstract compositions of city materials—like stucco\, spray pa
 int\, neon\, and ceramic tile—that reflect socio-economic conditions and cu
 ltural loss. His neon works remix street-level signage with literary and rh
 etorical phrases\, while his cake paintings honor activists and thinkers. T
 he Pee-Chee series addresses the risks faced by Black and Brown youth from 
 law enforcement.\n\n \n\nMartinez earned his BFA with honors from Art Cente
 r College of Design in 2005. His work has been shown internationally\, at v
 enues such as the Whitney Museum of American Art\, Museum of Contemporary A
 rt Los Angeles\, Brooklyn Museum\, Studio Museum in Harlem\, and Smithsonia
 n museums. His pieces are in permanent collections at the Whitney Museum\, 
 the Broad\, LACMA\, MOCA\, the Smithsonian and others.\n\n \n\nNotable exhi
 bitions include a solo show at the Tucson Museum of Art (2021)\, a residenc
