When viewing Martin Köster’s art for the first time, you can feel and absorb his intentions, latching onto a thought process filled with curiosity. Viewers can make the journey through a fantastic gallery of strict vanishing points in oil paintings that merge with emotions to form an artwork that, in its triviality, still remains absolutely unique.
Artist Martin Köster gets a bird's eye view of the cityscape when he paints on the rooftops of skyscrapersKöster will not be deterred by dizzying heights or danger in order to achieve his goal of internalizing a city’s soul and transforming it into paint, bringing in his own experiences with every stroke of the brush. Be it a skyscraper, helicopter or an image of rush hour, the artist specializes in drawing from the roofs of the skyline and showing the vividness of a city from above. While many painters enjoy nature, Köster’s approach to draw from high places is inspiringly new. “Every time I am surprised how much life I can observe down below. I feel the freedom and seclusion which inspire me,” explains Köster.
