A solo exhibition by Geraldine Martinez · 17–27 November 2026
FROM A ROCK TO A PLACE brings together a selection of Geraldine Martinez’s paintings and drawings, exploring the relationships between people, landscapes and the places – both real and imagined – that shape our lives.
From colourful landscapes inspired by places and memories to more conceptual explorations of the human figure within the landscape, the exhibition reflects an evolving artistic practice and a continuing curiosity about how we see and connect with the world around us.
At the heart of the exhibition is a new series of ten large-scale charcoal works. Moving beyond traditional landscape representation, these works explore themes of isolation, connection, displacement, memory and environmental change. Figures appear within vast and sometimes unfamiliar landscapes, inviting us to consider our place in the world and how we relate to one another and the environment around us.
Alongside these works, the colour landscapes offer a different perspective, capturing the beauty, atmosphere and character of the places that inspire me. Together, the paintings and drawings reflect different aspects of my ongoing exploration of people, place and our relationship with the world around us.
The title is a playful nod to Gibraltar’s most recognisable landmark, but it also speaks to the wider ideas behind the work: being between places, between states of mind, between what has been and what might come next.
Rather than offering definitive answers, FROM A ROCK TO A PLACE invites the viewer to pause, look closer and find their own meaning in the work.
