Martin Roedel

Since graduating in 2006, Martin Roedel has been working as a freelance artist, plastic artist and sculptor. His first five reliefs, contemporary reliefs on the arcades of the Stadtgottesackers Halle, were awarded the Peter Parler Prize of the German Foundation for Monument Protection in 2015. In 2014-2017 he carried out freelance work in plastic design at the Leipzig University of Graphics and Book Art. The individual projects of the students expanded the didactic experiences in the three-dimensional fundamentals.

In 2020 he received a “Chiral Fruits” study leave grant from the Cultural Foundation of the Freistaat Sachsen.

Independent study trips and stays in Europe, North Africa and South-East Asia positively influenced perspectives and points of view.
