Martin Mohwald

Martin Mohwald is an established international artist born in 1954 in Halle, Germany, where he currently lives and works. His work reflects his ideas about this battered industrial town. Mohwald's surfaces look frayed, battered, damaged and repaired. He incorporates letters, calligraphy and pattern sequences, sometimes featuring animals. These 'shattered' objects resemble conserved museum pieces - palimpsests - thoroughly repaired that they still withstand daily use.
