Martin Werthmann
Catastrophe as Space
Martin Werthmann (*1982) is one of the most prominent artists worldwide to make an intensive study of the woodcut as a genre. His monumental, multi-colour woodblock prints executed on large strips of paper, employ a radically new formal and aesthetic language that draws one in by putting the vague and diffuse into focus.

description
Werthmann’s recent works are based on photographs of terror attacks and acts of war: through numerous superimposed layers, he translates the images into the medium of woodblock printing, thus creating pictorial spaces which are full of tension as they hover between violence and beauty. With a particular focus on the SILENCE series this volume presents for the first time a comprehensive overview of the impressive work of the Berlin-based artist.
