PLAYGROUND DETROIT presents artwork from artists Martyna Alexander, Dustin Cook, & Julian Jamaal Jones at the Hamptons Fine Art Fair 2025. Although each artist has a unique approach and practice, shown together, their work speaks to each other about color, form and aesthetic.
Based in the heart of Detroit, PLAYGROUND DETROIT is a contemporary art gallery and talent agency amplifying the voices of rising artists while fueling the city’s cultural resurgence. Our group exhibition highlights powerful works that explore identity, memory, and emotion through vibrant mixed media and abstract techniques.
Experience bold, expressive visions from Detroit’s thriving creative community with us at the Hamptons Fine Art Fair, July 10–13, 2025.
Featured Artists
Martyna Alexander’s practice and paintings are where rigid forms and free gestures meet. Her process is a balancing act between control and spontaneity — much like living between cultures, ideas, and clashing expectations. Her art questions how we remain imperfect in a world that insists on perfection. And how, perhaps, it’s in that friction that something true begins to emerge.
Dustin Cook lives and works in Detroit. His abstract paintings explore color, energy, and the dialogue between form and atmosphere. Guided by intuition and precision, he builds rhythmic compositions of clean lines and geometry — images that seem to pulse with life, inviting both contemplation and wonder.
Julian Jamaal Jones stitches past and present into vibrant compositions. His process begins on paper, with pastel drawings — intuitive marks that later take shape on fabric. Rooted in the African American quilting tradition, his work challenges visual expectations and opens space for new ways of storytelling, marked by freedom and strength.
