Jeppesen Victor Martin

Jeppesen Victor Martin (1930, Randers – 1993, Randers) was a Danish artist active in the Situationist International.

Martin described his approach to art as "New Irrealism", which was a form of abstract expressionism which was both colourful and somewhat chaotic.

[1] He used a variety of mediums including oil, acrylic, enamel, gouache, pencil, collage and lithography, as well as mixed mediums.

[1] In 1967 he organised the Operation Playtime exhibition in Aarhus, which consisted of a series of "anti-paintings" in which the situationist represented by an armada of toy ships painted gold came to conquer the world with play and revolutionary theory.

[2] This gave rise to the situationist inspired Golden Fleet group of Swedish radical artists.
