WORKS

Marius Martinussen is a painter with many facets. In a few years he has distinguished himself as one of the most prolific and prominent painters who grew up in the 80s and 90s.

Martinussen uses media and advertising language in his arts. Through this he provides contemporary art a distinct expression.

Martinussen is a skilled colourist. His paintings are vivid and extravagant, with a wide register of references to the visual popular culture. His colour combinations create a dynamic expression reminiscent of big city illuminated signs and graffiti.

When describing Martinussen´s paintings, one often refers to pop art, expressionism and modernist abstraction when. He approaches challenges of painting through formal experiments but also through references to art history, implementing different styles of expression and art theory.
