Married artists Sam Moyer and Eddie Martinez have built their lives and careers on parallel tracks. Now, with simultaneous shows at the same museum, they are converging.

DOUBLE ACT

It's not every day that two artists who are married to each other have simultaneous solo shows at the same museum— and remain on speaking terms. This summer, Samantha (Sam) Moyer and Eddie Martinez will both mount shows at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, Long Island. It helps that their work is very different, although related in its combination of abstract and figurative elements. Moyer’s massive stone sculptures and sculptural paintings, in which pieces of stone are set in plaster-covered, fresco-like canvases, have a precise, almost classical presence. Martinez’s powerhouse paintings, which often include collage elements, have an eccentric, slapdash energy that echoes Robert Rauschenberg’s anything- goes “combines” and Philip Guston’s cartoony figuration. They’re in constant motion, as is their maker. (He does sculpture too.)

“Creative collaborations and artist relationships are something to celebrate,” says Mónica RamírezMontagut, the Parrish’s director. “They have made a tremendous positive impact on the field of art.” (The Parrish will also be showing another artist couple, KAWS and Julia Chiang, a few weeks later.) Moyer and Martinez have been together for 17 years. Their four-year-old son, Arthur, is deeply embedded in Martinez’s recent work—images of a rattle and other toys turn up, and a real-life baby wipe stands in for the wing of a butterfly.

Coming Up Rosy - The new blush isn't just for the cheek. Coco Mellors feels the flush.

If the eyes are the window to the soul, then our cheeks are the back door. What other part of the body so readily reveals our hidden emotions? Embarrassment, exuberance, delight, desire, all instantly communicated with a rush of blood. It's no wonder that blush has been a mainstay of makeup bags for decades: Ancient Egyptians used ground ochre to heighten their color; Queen Elizabeth I dabbed her cheeks with red dye and mercuric sulfide (which, combined with the vinegar and lead concoction she used to achieve her ivory pallor, is believed to have given her blood poisoning); flappers applied blush in dramatic circles to achieve a doll-like complexion, even adding it to their knees to draw attention to their shorter hemlines
