Like Kandinsky who wrote
“Color is the keyboard, the
eyes are the hammer, the
soul is the piano with the
strings”, Maehr harnesses
the power inherent in the
visible spectrum to convey
a sense of harmony and
resonant beauty.

it is able to work its way through all of us in a transcendent/
transformative sort of way.” He significantly adjusts his
palette for each piece. Most of Maehr’s works achieve a
stained glass intensity of color, as brilliant crimson and
vivid springtime green flood through a framework of heavy
black lines. “The color spectrum has become a language
for me,” Maehr explains. “The color wheel, to me, mirrors
the human soul.”
There is a certain good-natured mystique about his body
of work, incorporating a complex array of emotions and
thoughts. They function as poems, lyrically pointing to a
meaning while tickling our mind’s eye; in the end, they serve
to enrich our own faculties of reason. His body of work is
fresh and fun like a youthful person yearning for more and
more understanding and experience. This is why Marty
Maehr’s paintings will continue to captivate audiences for
years to come, a burgeoning artistic career that shows no
signs of slowing.
