The work

New York Feeling is an oil on canvas of 110 × 150 centimeters dominated by cold, almost glacial shades. New York is represented in an abstract-figurative dichotomy determined by light. The artificially illuminated areas, buildings, shops and streets take on the tone and texture of an abstract, lunar landscape. On the contrary, the shaded ones reveal themselves in all their figurative, almost brutalist materiality. This contrast represents the great opposites of life: evil and good, justice and injustice, wealth and poverty. Eternal contrasts that, in the end, coexist under the same sky. Human presence is represented by car headlights. Red dots, the only chromatically warm and lively bulwark in an almost spetral universe.

ARTIST

MARTIN KOESTER

Martin Koester is a young and very gifted artist that captures cities’ atmosphere at dusk in an exquisitely expressionist way.

Like a photographer he is able to depict and fix the precise instant when the day gives way to the night while restaurants and shops light up and cars' headlights create a friver of lights through the busy trafficked streets.

For Martin Koester each light that cuts open the imminent night’s dark brings stories, tales and secrets of the people who walk and live the night. Inspired and enchanted by the power of lighting, the artist transforms it into art.

To get the right city’s vibes, Martin draws the first sketches “en plen air” from one of the tallest skyscrapers where he tries out to fix the atmosphere, and all its shades. He also takes countless pictures.

Back to his minimalistic studio, he arranges all the sketches and pics just in the middle of the loft and he starts drawing and painting. The walls are packed with all his previous works so that when the new painting echoes the same feeling of the hanging ones, Martin knows that it’s finished.

What’s amazing is that, even if New York’s skyscrapers aren’t so different from Singapore’s buildings, especially during the night, the artist manages to portray and convey each city’s soul. Looking at them is like being there and the public can easily feel all the differences between the depicted cities.

Born in Hanover in 1988, Marin Koester studied Art at Leibinz University. He began his artist career just after graduation, immediately spotted by gallerists and art advisors. Worldwide exhibitions were not long to come with personals in New York, Moscow, London, Toronto and many European cities.

Today he’s a very well renowned international artist, represented by prestigious galleries and showed in important collections.

TRY AT HOME

Art at home (preferably central-northern Italy) is one of the exclusive services I offer to those who show a serious and passionate interest in targeted investments in works of painting and sculpture.

An online catalog; affinities that are perceived after some contact; the ability to interpret the potential client's aesthetic tastes and economic objectives; discretion. With these values and with these rules well established in mind, relationships are born that go beyond the purchase of a work of art.

Similarly, bringing art home goes beyond consulting on the authors, their styles, the cultural climate in which they operate or grew up, but it becomes an all-out action. I love helping my clients to contextualize the work they buy in the best possible way and this is also a relevant part of my business.

I can therefore take care of studying the arrangement of the works of art already from the design or renovation phase of the building; recommend the arrangement of paintings and statues and the perfect lighting of the rooms that host them. An all-round activity to give art and the home the prominence they deserve.
