Martin Eder

Martin Eder's disturbing oil paintings examine the interaction of beauty and ugliness and are shown alongside cute kittens and cuddly puppies, revealing nudes in eerie, surreal encounters. In an almost scientific way, Eder has devoted himself to this since the beginning of his career exploring the illusory possibilities of painting and their meaning. Inspired by various movements of art history, including Baroque and Surrealism, his paintings juxtapose the sentimental, the filthy and the sublime, forming the imagery of the classical history painting new. Eder breaks the generally accepted notions of what "fine art" should be, subverting conventional hierarchies of images and subjects. If you are looking for answers you are out of place in Eder's cosmos. But you will encounter a silent guest – the uncanny.
