Martin’s work was highly influenced by his background in design, paired with his more gradual interest in abstraction. While Martin began as a painter, his style was perfectly suited for printmaking. In the 1970s Martin released multiple screenprint series, including Chance and Order and Rotation Frankfurt.
Martin usually applied Roman numerals to his print titles to distinguish his prints.

While his paintings are harder to come by, a large variety of his prints continue to sell at auctions and galleries. A large collection of Martin’s work is owned by the Tate Museum in London.
