About
about Jet
An influential figure in Bay Area public art, Oakland-based artist Jet
Martinez (b. 1973) is known for creating vibrant works of art that engage
the traditions of Mexican folk art with contemporary aesthetics.
Originally from the small beach town of Tuxpan, Veracruz, Mexico, and
raised in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Martinez takes inspiration from his
native culture’s rich traditions of pottery, weaving and embroidery,
enlivening the rigid architecture of urban environments with ornate
patterns and abstract forms.
