Disler Martin, *1949 1996 (Seewen, Switzerland) Worked with painting, drawing, prints, sculpture and writing. Untitled,1986 Mixed media on paper, 140 x 76 cm © Nachlass Martin Disler / Courtesy Elisabeth Kaufmann Galerie The self-taught artist Martin Disler had begun to capture the physical and mental tension of the modern individual on canvas years before the so-called "Wild Ones" became a talking point. His expressive paintings and drawings, often in sombre colours, possess a swirling energy indicative of his often impetuous approach. This artist, whose work comes across as being bathed in both a thirst for life and an anticipation of death, was only forty-seven years old when he died. |
