ON::View Residency: Walter San Martín

Walter San Martín is an artist based in Miami, FL, and New York, NY. His practice spans sculpture, printmaking, and performance, often exploring themes of immigration and labor through engaging the neglected components that structure our surroundings. Materials such as foam, felt, drywall, and seasoning as mediums are treated with contradictory narratives, connected to racial, class, and colonial dialectics. Raised in Miami by Ecuadorian parents, he is currently pursuing a BFA at The Cooper Union. His work has been shown in group exhibitions at Laney Contemporary in Savannah, GA, Cooper Union in New York, NY, and the YoungArts Gallery in Miami, FL, and in student exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY, the Rubell Museum in Miami, FL, and the Bass Museum in Miami, FL.
