Fall Gallery Night | Paradigm Shift by Ender Martos : Fort Worth Art Dealer's Association Fall Gallery Night

A paradigm shift is an intense transformative process that lacks a true beginning, middle, and end. Martos’ upcoming show celebrates this concept through a carefully thought-out presentation of curated wall pieces created through the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as a brand new series where the artist explores new materials that help convey a sensation of shifting process and movement. The exhibit will showcase dynamic three-dimensional wall sculptures created with monofilament, colored acrylic mirror and other media.  

In the pursuit of elevating our perspectives, Martos’ artworks often call for unchoreographed movement from viewers. As with some of the pieces, motions are reflected and abstracted back at us through acrylic mirror, challenging our ideas of what is actually on display. Although images of the sculptures seem to be computer-generated, a calming sense of naturalness can be found in their unity. In a time where change is the only constant, it is important to acknowledge the unique response that is Paradigm Shift. Visually, Paradigm Shift presents a labyrinth of geometry, precise lines, and vibrant colors. Conceptually, the series asks viewers to change their perspectives and allow a shift of thinking, a practice that we all could apply to our daily lives.

“I have always had an aptitude for design and technical drawing. Growing up, I found satisfaction in crafting perfect lines and geometric shapes while making their presentation clean and accessible. I dropped out of architecture school to become a visual artist. I realized I saw the world through a different lens. My pieces seek to open your mind and heart. I want you to live an active experience as you walk around them. I want this experience to affect your sight, mind, and soul. I want this experience to make you question reality. There is no “best way” to experience my artworks. You can take them for what they are, complex geometric shapes that blend color and mathematics, or you can dig deeper inside their layers and let each line take you to another place within the cosmos of your subconscious.” -Ender Martos
