DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM proudly present Holobionten, Bernhard Martin’s opus magnum, on view from July 1 through July 31, 2026.
Epic in scale, the 25 meters long work premieres in our new headquarters at Linienstrasse 40, Berlin-Mitte.
Since 2020, Bernhard Martin has been working on the monumental wall frieze Holobionten, which spans eleven large-format canvases. Originally conceived as a four-part work, the project has evolved over the years into a growing pictorial organism—a painterly entity that brings together all the previous phases of his artistic practice, both formally and conceptually, while extending far beyond them. Martin regards Holobionten as his central artistic statement: a complete living being in both the literal and metaphorical sense.
Opening hours: Tue–Fri, 11 AM–6 PM
