Gunter Damisch
Apr 24, 2021
Gunter Damisch (1958–2016 ) was an Austrian artist known for his lush paintings of rhizome-like forms and undulating lines. “ This world is inhabited by a large number of invented beings that can be ascribed to either a microcosmic biological or a macrocosmic spiritual world. These beings drift in the streams of air, water, earth and fire emerging from a universe that has been subjected to a never-ending process of change by the creator. Gunter Damisch’s “Flämmler”, lucid amblers between time and space, can be seen in this context as metaphors for the fleetingness of human existence, at least for its consummation in a processual dimension.
