Martijn Sandberg plays with material that bears an image that in turn camouflages the message from certain angles and exposes it from others. There is a trickiness to his artwork that both challenges and amuses viewers, creating a direct relationship between the language and the ultimate significance of the image.
Exploring tension between text and image plays an important role in the work of Amsterdam-based visual artist Martijn Sandberg. He creates image messages in the public domain as well as in paintings and sculpture.
