About the Playground series

(…) For my part, I am sure, that it is the derision of the human comedy expressed by Martina Büttner. Truculence marks these compositions, where humor is associated with a certain ferocity. In summary, all these paintings constitute a world that does not fail to fascinate and make us think about our condition. (…)
