Endless Modern Licking of Crashing Globe by Black Doggy - Time Bomb by Martin Disler is a limited edition print portfolio, created in 1981. This work consists of eight etchings, each offering a bold, experimental style characteristic of Disler's expressive and often dark thematic language. With large, stark lettering on a vibrant red background, this particular piece of the portfolio confronts the viewer with an ambiguous, almost surreal message. Disler’s work often explores themes of existentialism, chaos, and the subconscious, as suggested by the explosive phrases. The dynamic use of typography and color, combined with a limited edition size of 49, positions this piece as a compelling reflection on modernity’s turbulent and unpredictable nature.

Martin Disler (Switzerland, 1949–1996) was a self-taught artist associated with the Neue Wilde movement. His dynamic paintings, drawings, and sculptures often explored themes of human emotion and existentialism. Disler's work gained international recognition in the 1980s, with exhibitions at institutions like MoMA and the Tate Gallery.

Martin Disler was a Swiss painter in the second half of the twentieth century, and he was connected with the Neue Wilde(also known as the Junge Wilde). He worked primarily in Europe and the United States in the 1970s and 1980s with such contemporaries as Georg Baselitz, Francesco Clemente and Sandro Chia, showing works at the Documenta 7 in 1982. His works primarily featured oil and/or acrylic spray on canvas. Most of his canvases appear without a title, leaving interpretation to the viewer. The Neue Wilde style appeared within the German-speaking parts of Europe as a response to the established elements of the avant-garde, to minimal art and to conceptual art. A fellow movement was the Italian transavantguardia movement, the Figuration Libre in France and New-Image-Painting in the United States. Paintings by Disler and other members of this movement feature broad, quick brushstrokes in colors that are intense and bright.

Who are the Neue Wilden?

Neue Wilden is the term German artists used for Neo-Expressionism. In the 1970s and 80s, expressive painting re-emerged in Germany, with artists embracing intense colors and broad brushstrokes. The movement grew in opposition to minimal and conceptual art, favoring a return to raw, emotional expression through bold and dynamic painting techniques.
