When Martin Köster is not painting on a high-rise, his works are created in his studio loft in Germany. Koester uses the photos and sketches he brought back from his city trips for his references.
“I like to arrange my works everywhere in my studio, so I see all the different cities at once. Then I feel the international flair again and if I relive all the stories.”
Martin Koester was born in Hanover, Germany in 1988. After graduating with a diploma from Leibniz University of Hanover, Koester began exhibiting throughout Germany.
In 2018, the city painter Koester received his first invitations to international exhibitions. Two years later, the contrast between dark buildings and bright lights has reached the international art world. He has gained an international following and been the subject of successful exhibitions in in London, New York, Moscow, Hong Kong, Hamburg, Paris and many other cities worldwide.
