Martine Poppe

Martine Poppe (born 1988), is a contemporary artist known for her pale oil paintings on sailcloth with climate and feminism as central themes in her work.[1] Poppe’s paintings are based on digital photographs of nature and carry the effects of diffracted light, overexposed photography, and the pixelation of blown-up digital images, resulting in a unique blend of abstraction and representation.[2][3][4]

Works

edit

Martine Poppe is a painter and sculptor who has gained recognition for her work that blends abstraction and representation with a focus on climate and digital photography. Poppe's creative process involves taking photographs of nature, such as clouds, and processing them digitally until they become almost illegible. These photographs are then printed out on a large scale and placed behind translucent fabrics on stretchers, creating a screen for the artist to work on with paint. The resulting paintings exhibit the effects of diffracted light, overexposed photography, and pixelation.[1][2][3][15][23]

Poppe's sculptures recycles surplus materials from her creative process, such as textiles and photographs, to create standing barriers or scrunched-up shapes in the exhibition space.[1] These sculptures and paintings provide an immersive experience for viewers and evoke the ever-changing and fragile nature of the environment.[2]

In a 2021 Artsy article by Tomas Weber, Poppe's paintings are described as "at once meditative and grandiose" and "depict[ing] the fragile, fleeting qualities of light as it works its way across a drama of clouds and open sky,” concluding that “Poppe’s delicate, pixelated clouds contemplate our embeddedness within interconnected systems—the climate and the internet. Through Poppe’s highly physical markmaking, the paintings seem to ask us to inhabit those systems with greater care and attention to the earth-spanning consequences of our actions.”[2]
