Summary:
This catalogue accompanies an exhibition of both new and old work by Karel Martens at Platform-L Contemporary Art Centre in Seoul, curated by Sang Un Jeon. In both format and content it offers a succinct overview of the world of the renowned Dutch graphic designer, who has produced an extensive array of works over the six decades of his career. The various influences he has absorbed during this period, combined with his socially conscious approach, have made him an idiosyncratic designer who brings together rational schemes and literary sensibility in a remarkable way. The publication was designed by Sulki & Min, former students of Martens from Yale University.

In 2018, Martens received a package from artist-curator Pierre Leguillon that contained filled-in Japanese forms which he had found at a street market in Tokyo. Martens was intrigued by the collection of thin paper with a rectangular black-blue layer of carbon on the back. In 2019 he started to print on these back sides, but because the overprinting on the carbon layer caused unwanted damage, he switched to printing them on the front sides as well. 'The closing image is related to Tokyo in a different way,' he explains.
