Martin Maeller

Martin Maeller (born 1990) lives and works in Berlin. His art combines personal experiences, text, and elements of pop culture and subculture to observe subjective and collective states of alienation and belonging. Spanning a diverse array of media, including printmaking, sculpture, and installation, his practice constructs inner worlds between melancholy and loss, affection and care. The visual and conceptual language questions the construction of identity and emphasizes the sensitivity and vulnerability inherent in it. It deciphers and maps the dark terrain of the unconscious and focuses on reclaiming personal agency.
