In his artistic practice, Martin Collmann primarily explores the theme of the human figure, whether in the form of portraits or larger figurative depictions of one or more people. The choice of colours and forms is made in an exploratory manner as part of the creative process, using various layers applied on top of one another.
Martin Collmann
In his paintings, Collmann focuses almost exclusively on the human figure as his central thematic motif, portraying it in an abstract manner and creating a process-driven interplay of colours and forms that combines a dynamic brushstroke with graphic elements – the result is a compelling symbiosis in which gestural freedom and compositional rigour interpenetrate.
Thematically, he operates on the borderline between abstraction and figuration, exploring the fragile balance between closeness and distance in human interaction. The works thus serve as surfaces onto which emotional ambivalences are projected, reflecting both the longing for intimacy and the need for individuality.
