Exodus – Nest Martens (1925–2024)

€975,00

A long line of figures, dressed in coats and cloaks, leaves the village under a warm evening sky. Their faces are solemn, their steps even, as the church and the fields slowly recede behind them. With broad brushstrokes and warm hues, Nest Martens captures the sense of farewell, hope, and solidarity. "Exodus" is a narrative painting that exudes movement, history, and humanity.

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.
