Toe to had

Martin Lytke distinguishes himself through a distinctive approach to his craft. Eschewing collage or digital manipulation, Lytke creates his paintings by directly working on photos or prints. His artworks, characterized by sparingly placed traces of color and isolated objective elements, not only exude openness and change but also serve as a subtle commentary on the interplay between image and likeness in contemporary culture, challenging the conventions of media images by infusing them with a more art-historical significance. Since 1999, Martin Lytke has worked directly with printed materials such as advertisements, magazines, and vintage art books. His way of painting is more like recognition than painting a present object, somehow the way blind people see the world, to approach to an object. Always painted on one sheet whats important to him, otherwise it would be too arbitrary. Searching for the most elegant, yet quickest way.
