MEET THE MAKER | FERNANDO MARTINEZ
@fernandoartwork creates ceramic work that functions as a three-dimensional collage, exploring the dialogue between narrative and objects and the collisions of culture that leave their scars and stories behind. Borrowing from the hybrid objects that survive cultural upheaval, he constructs an imagined history of his own choosing, lifelines to origin stories that speak of intersection, transformation and belonging.
See Fernando’s work alongside 125 contemporary independent ceramic artists at Ceramic Art London 2026.

Artists Talk:
Fernando Martinez, Rachel Dove, Dan Munkus
Saturday, March 7, 2026
4:00 PM to 5:30 PM
At BAU Gallery 506 Main StreetBeacon, NY, 12508United States (map)
Join artists Fernando Martinez, Rachel Dove, and Dan Munkus as they discuss their current exhibitions at BAU Gallery. Martinez’ work explores how language can express the ineffable nature of words like eternity, love, and spirit, which we can name but never fully understand. In this exhibition, which features the tactile surfaces of Martinez’ collage-approach to ceramics, the works hint at the tension between the object as it is and the meaning it emanates. Dove and Munkus’ two-person exhibition examines the utility, impact, and aesthetics of often-unseen external and inner systems. Dove, a ceramic artist, is drawn to the hidden structures that operate just beyond perception, like seawalls restraining tides and ventilation shafts breathing beneath our feet. Munkus, primarily a painter, uses abstraction to distill and analyze inner emotional and psychological systems, creating a material inquiry about the nature of self-reimagining.

Martinez uses wood and ceramic as base materials, often in updating metal, plastic, string, and glass to create narratives about the effects of time and use, and the sacred and profane.
