In Exit Strategy, J. Kent Martin explores a moody, textural composition of layered charcoal, slate gray, and muted white, interrupted by a luminous rectangular form that reads as both passage and barrier. The surface is richly built with mixed media—thick impasto, scraping, and organic erosion—creating a sense of time and decision. The painting suggests movement toward resolution, a quiet but deliberate search for release.
