Two farmers bend heavily over their spades in the middle of the field. Their broad shoulders, tense arms, and muted green tones emphasize both the physical strength and the fatigue of working the land. With "At Work," Nest Martens pays a powerful tribute to the human being who cultivates the earth with their hands – a timeless, monumental painting.

Description

Nest Martens (1925–2024) is considered a modern heir to Flemish Expressionism. From an early, Permeke-like visual language, he developed his own highly stylized form language with bold lines and bright color fields. His work balances between abstraction and figuration, often focusing on human figures and their interrelationships, making it a source of continued appeal to both collectors and art lovers.
