Vlado Martek (born 1951) is a Croatian artist whose work is based on visualising poetry.
In his art pieces he works with poems and fragments of poems by putting them into collages, photographs, plots, graphics, sketches, drawings, art actions and agitations, graffiti and wallpapers.
The first work he installed in public was a wallpaper-action with the photographer Željko Jerman and the art-student Boris Demur.
In 1975 he founded the Group of Six Artists (Grupa šestorice autora) with Mladen and Sven Stilinović, Fedor Vučemilović, Boris Demur and Željko Jerman.
In that sense it is a provocation in language, by destruction but also construction.“ [4] Martek uses critical, ironic and analytic methods to question social structures in combination with a wide range of media and materials.
