Mees Mattern

Mees Mattern is a contemporary artist whose work traverses the boundaries between abstraction and representation, drawing inspiration from both urban landscapes and organic forms. Born in the Netherlands and based in Berlin, Mattern studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, where a multidisciplinary approach fostered the development of a signature visual language characterized by textured surfaces, layered color fields, and a kinetic sense of movement. Mattern’s practice spans painting, drawing, and installation, often integrating unconventional materials and experimental techniques.

With exhibitions across Europe, including solo shows in Amsterdam, Vienna, and Berlin, Mattern has garnered recognition for a body of work that meditates on the interplay between memory, environment, and sensory experience. Constantly exploring the relationship between space and perception, Mees Mattern’s art invites viewers into an open-ended dialogue, prompting reflection on the ways in which we navigate both physical and psychological terrains.
