Martina Nehrling is an American abstract artist whose dynamic and richly textured paintings evoke kaleidoscopic worlds of pattern

Cut-Up 21-1 Yari Ostovany Martina Nehrling is an AmericanPedersen works with acrylic paint. When painting a composition, she tends toward a limited color palette, often reducing the composition to minimal, hard edged shapes on solid colored fields. The harmonies and tensions in the work arise from different relationships: those between the colors, the patterns, and the geometric and organic shapes.
