Carl Martin
Carl Martin (b. 1958) is an artist and designer based in Athens, Georgia. Nuance and gesture are pillars of his photography which often centers on his surrounding social environments. Studying at the School of Visual Arts in the early 80s, Martin later fled New York and returned to the South to continue his career. He’s the recipient of several awards, including a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in 1996. Martin’s photographs have been exhibited nationally, and are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York); the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (Atlanta); Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport; CGR Advisors (Atlanta); and King and Spaulding (Atlanta). In 2012-13, Fall Line Press published four limited edition issues of Martin’s work and in 2018 published Carl Martin, a book containing over 25 years of his photographs of Athens, Georgia.
