On occasion of the Gallery Weekend 2019, Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin is presenting a solo show by Martin Eder. Martin Eder is known for his polarising combination of eccentric subjects and artistry in the style of the old masters. In the upcoming exhibition “DYSTOPIA”, he is showing new paintings that balance between a hyperrealistic imposition and a forced aesthetic of ugliness. The philosophical understanding of the term “Dystopia” depicts a pessimistic image of the future and alarming developments of the present with regard to a repressive, social control. In his series DYSTOPIA, Martin Eder uses a constellation of images that can be read as dream-like entities to describe the impact, being optimistic about progress has on solitude and the feeling of emptiness.
