THE BEAUTY OF THE UNIMPOSING - ABSTRACT CITYSCAPES
For centuries, urban environments have been captured on canvass through paintings. The Berlin based artist Martin Leuze transports that genre into the here and now. But by doing so, he is focusing on the modern living space of todays metropolises.

For Martin Leuze, modern cities are like walkable galleries, full of impressive structures, forms and random arrangements of architecture, light and shadows.

Day by day people rush through their world, mostly in a hurry to get from A to B as fast as possible. By doing so, the visual potential which is hiding in the ordinary and banal around them, is mostly overlooked. But according to Leuzes opinion, the city deserves a more detailed observation; a closer look at structures and forms, a quick backpedalling if something in the corner of the eye attracts our attention.

In his work, Martin Leuze tries to single these moments out of the mass; a visual- aesthetic interpretation and documentation of urban architectural living space.

His pictures follow a predominantly geometric and mostly deserted visual language; strongly reduced cutouts of the reality around us. He tries to break established perceptions and a refocusing of the allegedly unimposing; a decelerated counter draft in this Era of omnipresent visual overkill.
