CreditAbdoul Karim Martens (born in Hamburg) lives an works in Cologne. In 2024, he graduated from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. His work explores connections and processual states of becoming that emerge from the interplay of materials, forms, and discursive references. Through layering, erosion, and the transformation of multiple elements, he develops organic structures that bear traces of the past while evoking worlds yet to be imagined. The tangible and the ephemeral interweave in a realm where the concrete continuously merges into the abstract.
