Martin la Roche
Geneva
Martin La Roche trained in graphic design in London. He then went on to work in fashionable studios in Paris, and Cairo. He is fascinated by big cities. As much as he settles anywhere, he has settled in Geneva. This 37 year-old polyglot says the best part of his work as an interior designer is when a plan is executed to his satisfaction. Martin’s only hobby, on which he spends hours, is drawing. He labours over minutely detailed pen-and-ink urban scenes. His first exhibition in 2006 was a series of aerial views of imaginary but detailed street-views and took place in Paris. Since 2011 he did several exhibitions in Geneva and works also on special order with a specific view or buildings.
