A la fois traditionnelle et non conventionnelle, la peinture d’Eddie Martinez se combine à la sérigraphie, la peinture aérosol et parfois même des morceaux d’emballages de chewing gum et de lingettes pour bébé. Son oeuvre épouse la légèreté de la culture contemporaine, mais s’inspire également de mouvements historiques tels que l’Action Painting, le néo-expressionnisme et CoBrA.
Le travail de Martinez a fait l’objet d'expositions personnelles dans des musées et institutions, dont le Bronx Museum of the Arts, le Drawing Center à New York ou encore le Davis Museum à Wellesley, dans le Massachusetts. Ses oeuvres figurent dans de nombreuses collections publiques et privées telles que la Saatchi Collection et la Hiscox Collection à Londres; la Colección Jumex à Mexico; la Marciano Collection à Los Angeles; le Morgan Library & Museum à New York; et le Davis Museum à Wellesley.
