"Maarten Demmink highlights the precariousness of human civilization, no less than the derisory nature, in light of the long history of everything that matters to man: what he builds and what he weeps over when nature destroys" - Mikaël Faujour
Maarten Demmink revisits the genre of landscape in the light of his contemporary concerns about environmentalism by the use of different mediums: paintings, mural wood sculptures, mixed media and staged photographs. His "vedute" offer a fascinating reflection on nature and our future.
