• Resumen

  • Dutch designer Karel Martens held his first solo exhibition, KM Karel Martens in Japan at Ginza Graphic Gallery (ggg) this May. In his representative work, the monotype print series, Martens takes "found objects" from daily life, such as rulers and lego blocks, and uses them as printing blocks to print numbers and letters. Martens has experimented with such methods for over 50 years. We talked with Martens who is now 74 years old and exerts a powerful influence in the global design industry.
