"ONE BLACK ROSE" consists of two artists, SANDY MARTIN and TIM PHOENIX, who both believe in the power of art education far beyond any other type of communication. These two 'abstract expressionists' share a common bond. This bond is to generate excitement into the abstract world, artistically produce a piece that lives for millions of years, and to share the meaning behind the painting itself. Our artistry takes us to a transcendent place far beyond the thought process. Suddenly the painting appears speaking eloquently, "Welcome to my world". Their paintings are precise, yet chaotic. Peaceful, but screaming through the roof for attention. Soft, yet loud, in the way they accentuate their color coordination. It is "ONE BLACK ROSE'S" theme to push the mind as far as it can go until it becomes a paint splat that morphs into any and every scenario at once, as the viewer interprets the mystery. It is up to each individual to read into the painting, just as they would a poem, and create their own meaning.
Just as Medusa has turned people into stone with one look, 'One Black Roses' goal is to create an instant injection of an unspoken education into the viewers mind with one brush to his eye. Some have called their style quite maniacal.
"ONE BLACK ROSE'S" TIM PHOENIX AND SANDY MARTIN MET THREE YEARS AGO WHILE WORKING ON A FILM. PHOENIX'S SUCCESS IN SPECIAL EFFECTS AND MARTIN'S SUCCESS IN SONG WRITING BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER DURING THAT PROJECT. AFTER DISCUSSING THEIR LOVE OF PAINTING, THEY THEN FORMED "ONE BLACK ROSE", THEIR TRUEST OF PASSION.
"Of all the important things I may have said in my life, thus far. I don't believe i've ever said anything more important than the way I say it in my paintings".
-SANDY MARTIN

"It is my mission in this life, to not only leave behind one piece of art, but many pieces that last for millions of years, that will be found in the Phoenix ash until I rise again".
-TIM PHOENIX
