Bernhard Martin

The artist invests meticulously in his own mutability, constantly ready to experiment in all directions; his main interest lies in the eccentric, in showing the enriching potential of what is out of the ordinary. His radical, masterly way of combining different styles of painting to create complete narratives ("I like to paint my own films") makes Martin one of the principal representatives of his generation. This summer, Martin has been awarded the 2015 Fred Thieler Prize for Painting.
Bernhard Martin will direct a two-week course from 20 July to 1 August 2015.
