Under the Tower – Nest Martens (1925–2024)

€550,00

A village unfolds around a monumental church tower: farmhouses with thatched roofs, figures working in the garden, chickens in the yard, and a cart in the distance. In warm earth tones and soft greens, Nest Martens paints a timeless picture of rural life "under the tower." This gouache is a beautiful example of his early, more Permeke-esque style and will particularly appeal to fans of Flemish village scenes.

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.
