Concept Art
Concepts not just artworks, by Martin Grohs from Germany
Germany is renowned for its strong hold on history and culture. And amidst this inspirational setting, Martin Grohs, a self-taught Graphic Designer, creates concepts and not artwork. "It's satiating to create work that encourages viewers to think about the topic." he says. How you show it is important but what really matters is what you're showing. He talks to Creative Gaga to throw some light on his dark mysterious designs.
CG. Your designs are dark, mysterious and a great experience. What vision, inspirations and philosophies do you incorporate in your artwork?
MG. Yes, most of my work is partially dark. But a lot of it depends majorly on the mood I'm in. I love dark images because it's in this darkness where colours can live. I find inspiration every day, whether through friends, other artists, advertising or music. Everything I experience and see inspires me. I always want a good concept, which is the most time consuming stage of the process. Once I've arrived at that, I really love to create a lot of detail, so that the viewer can find something new in every detail.
