Martos Gallery is pleased to present BPM, Scottish-Icelandic artist Baldvin
Ringsted’s first solo exhibition in the United States.
Auditory to visual, Baldvin Ringsted finds a delicate transaction that
occurs from image to sound and vice versa. Drawing upon his experience as a
musician, and a deep interest in pop culture, Ringsted has developed a body
of work that deals with the relationship between the two. The artist’s
underlying aim, to render sound resonances visible in his works and create
images of both the mood and scientific 'shape' of music, is suggested in
the exhibition’s title, BPM or ‘beats per minute’. Visual signs of
repetition and rhythm are seen in many of his works, including Six
Drum-kits and the Divebomb series, where the sound waves are transposed
upon the paint’s surface. Rather than producing sound in real time, the
works focus on documenting past musical moments. They reflect the artist's
effort to capture and communicate to others experiences that are not their
own, particularly when dealing with heavy metal.
Born in Akureyri, Iceland, Baldvin Ringsted studied jazz theory at the
F.I.H School of Music in Rekyjavik, before moving to Glasgow to complete an
MFA at the Glasgow School of Art. Ringsted has exhibited extensively
throughout Europe. Recent exhibition locations include Akureyri Art Museum
in Iceland, Artnews Projects in Berlin, Kunstverein Arnsberg and Glasgow
International.
