“Stained Earth” Martin McGinn

CAMi gallery is pleased to present Stained Earth, an upcoming solo exhibition by London-based artist Martin McGinn, whose work transforms the physical and symbolic landscapes of the earth into abstract visual meditations. In this latest body of work, McGinn creates pigment directly from the soil of Napa Valley vineyards, using the region’s mineral-rich earth to form painterly abstractions that he calls landscapes.

Blurring the line between representation and materiality, Stained Earth explores how place can be both subject and medium. Each composition carries within it the color, texture, and memory of the vineyard terrain itself, bridging the physicality of the earth with the imaginative realm of painting . McGinn’s process is as elemental as it is conceptual: he uses the local soil in its purest form, applying them in layers that echo geological time, erosion, and the labor of cultivation while staining with the colors of blood and wine.

Opening Reception 11/22/2025 4pm – 7pm
