Use of oil paint and surprising painting technique. Spatula strokes and refined brushstrokes. Plays of light and shadow. Representation of space through the masterful use of perspective. Careful study of the metropolises represented on canvas, captured from dusk to night. We are talking about Martin Koester. His extraordinary works have a truly astonishing communicative capacity. The urban territories of Koester are surrounded by a dark luminosity. Melancholic metropolises. Cars queuing and anonymous citizens reflected in puddles. Skylines caressing the tumultuous sky. Skyscrapers choking the street. Koester is a modern Flâneur who describes, through painting, the romanticism of cities. This canvas depicts a bird's-eye view of Istanbul with the Bosphorus dividing it, the artist evokes an evocative atmosphere reminiscent of the pictorial style of William Turner. Koester's ability to capture the city with sensitivity and expressiveness recalls the aesthetics of pre-Impressionist painters. the German artist creates a work that transforms into an emotional experience.
