Günther Förg

Günther Förg was born 1952 in Füssen (Germany), lives and works in Areuse (Switzerland). His painterly formulations are a consideration of the medium itself and are in continuous dialogue with the heroes of contemporary painting such as Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt, Ellsworth Kelly, Blinky Palermo and the aesthetics of Bauhaus architecture. Förg approaches the analysis of these important achievements in painting of this century as a superficial "flaneur", but at the same time manages to keep things in subtle suspension. This triptych Coda was titled after a poem by Ezra Pound.
