Catalogue Note
"Eder has to be seen as a figurative painter, who is interested ‘in the pile of rubbish of information we voluntarily or involuntarily take in everyday’… He toys with the viewer's medial behaviour. Regardless whether painting nudes or animals, Eder never depicts them one-dimensionally. The accusation he produces kitsch is wrong." - Thomas Girst (Exh. Cat., Kunstverein Lingen Kunsthalle, Martin Eder: Die Kalte Kraft, 2004, p. 33)
