Karel Marten's work occupies a unique place in the present European art and design landscape. While working in the tradition of Dutch modernism, he maintains distance from the main developments of his time: from both the practices of routinized Modernism and the facile reactions against it. His work is personal and experimental, while at the same time publicly answerable.
He has published a book called 'Printed Matter'.
I especially enjoy his work when he uses overlapping and layering in print to create wonderful pieces. The multi-layered work is also what I intend to do for my degree. He also uses a lot of colour in his work.
