Parallèles d'une certaine manière aux déformations de l'œuvre de Hildebrand, les espaces kaléidoscopiques de Martin Golland invitent l'œil tout en représentant simultanément une sorte de piège visuel qui ne le laisse peut-être pas s'échapper. En utilisant une technique picturale, une perspective bancale et des schémas de composition chaotiques, les environnements construits de Golland déroutent les spectateurs. Sa méthode magistrale de copier-coller efface et raccourcit adroitement l'espace tout en le comprimant et en l'étirant. Les collages de Golland, utilisés comme travaux préparatoires ainsi que comme compositions autonomes, révèlent des indices sur la façon dont les tableaux sont réalisés. Assemblés à partir de chutes de peinture, de photos et de papier, ils présentent des mondes spatiaux brisés inscrits dans les plis d'un origami turbulent.

Parallel in some ways to the distortions within Hildebrand's work, Martin Golland's kaleidoscopic spaces invite the eye whilst simultaneously representing a sort of visual finger trap that may not let it loose. By use of painterly technique, wonky perspective, and chaotic compositional schemes, Golland's built environments place viewers on unsteady footing. His masterful cut-and-paste method deftly collapses and foreshortens space while simultaneously squeezing and stretching it. Golland's collages, used as preparatory works as well as stand-alone compositions, reveal clues into how the paintings are made. Assembled from painted scraps, photos and paper, they present shattered spatial worlds inscribed on the folds of a turbulent origami.
