Martin Mertens

Galerie Martin Mertens is a contemporary art gallery in Berlin, where paintings, sculptures, mixed media, and installations share the space. Its exhibitions bring emerging and established artists together. Italian-born Roberto Bosisio creates large-scale paintings that balance painterly pointillism with cinematic imagery. Soft focus gives these works a nostalgic atmosphere and a clear visual restraint.

Polish-born sculptor Gregor Gaida challenges familiar ideas of woodcarving through dynamic forms and plastic interruptions. His sculpture Apeirophobia gives physical shape to a fear of the infinite. Daniel Bodner explores the relationship between painting and photography through constructed images that stretch a photographed moment into paint. Light and colour become central to that transformation, inviting close attention to how an image changes between mediums.

You can move from Bosisio’s expansive painted scenes to Gaida’s carefully crafted sculptures and Bodner’s hybrid images. Together, these works show contemporary art shifting between recognisable imagery, material experiment, and changing perception.
