Martine Poppe (1988-), is a contemporary artist known for her pale oil paintings on sailcloth with climate and feminism as central themes in her work. 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. Poppe has been featured in numerous exhibitions, including New Order II - British Art Today at the Saatchi Gallery in London in 2014 and Girl meets girl at Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium in Norway in 2022. Poppe’s works can be found in collections including the UK Government Art Collection, KODE Museums, the Saatchi Collection, Kistefos Museum and the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation.
