Art © Martin Gut

Martin Gut’s complex mixed-media body of work seems to be unpredictable, but is in fact a consistent development of his lifelong artistic trajectory.

In his works, the interplay of paradoxes and absurdities of the modern life creates an astonishing lingering impact. The poetic power of his work emerges in intense manual work, in "hands-on thinking".

The artist’s philosophy reveals itself best in his installations and performances, as well as curated exhibitions. He chose to work outside of rush hour of the art market in order to create situations, which act as a sometimes ironical counterbalance to the absurdities of our reality. And what is much stranger than those situations is the world we live in.
