At the Wounded's – Nest Martens (1925–2024)

€425,00

Against a fiery orange background, a reddish-orange figure bends over a reclining, white-painted figure. With quick, angular strokes and strong color contrasts between warm and cool, Nest Martens captures the moment after the blow: the tension between shock, worry, and helplessness. "Bij dewondene" (At the Wounded One) is an intense, expressive painting that immediately grabs the attention and lingers.

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.
