Martin Disler (*1949 Seewen; †1996 Geneva, Switzerland) is a painter, sculptor and writer associated with the vigorous and expressive art of the Neue Wilde movement. His often large-format paintings and prints captivate with their powerful immediacy and energetic dynamic. The subjective-impulsive gesture that negotiates both the hunger for life and the presence of death is characteristic of his works. In Disler's late work, sculpture plays a progressively more dominate role and consistently expands his painting process into an expressiv and extensive, space-filling corporeality.

His works have been shown in solo shows at the Kirchner Museum, Davos, Switzerland (2021), Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur, Switzerland (2019), MAH Geneva, Switzerland (2017), Kunsthalle Bielefeld, Germany (2016), MAMCO Geneva, Switzerland (1999), Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland (1997, 1980), Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany (1985), Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (1983) and many others.

In addition, the artist has taken part in numerous group shows, including exhibitions at the National Gallery of Iceland, Reykjavík (2023), MCBA, Lausanne, Switzerland (2022), Kunstmuseum Bern, Germany (2020), Kunstmuseum Luzern, Switzerland (2016), ZKM Museum für Neue Kunst, Karlsruhe, Germany (2003), Hong Kong Museum of Art, China (1995), MoMA, New York, USA (1984, 1981), Tate Gallery, London, UK (1983) as well as the documenta 7, Kassel, Germany (1982) and the 1st Venice Biennale, Italy (1980).
