Martin Conrad has built up his own cosmos of images over the years of his artistic career.
The centrepiece is his graphic research map of our everyday lives.
He draws on this extensive compendium of drawings, which is constantly updated on a daily basis, for his pictorial compositions and juggles with the resulting constellations in a virtuoso manner.
He uses a transfer printing process to transfer his drawings into his pictures like a matrix.
Like in a kaleidoscope, the things in his world view are constantly rearranged, always exciting, always surprising.
