Closed SundayCurated by Mark O’Gorman and Paul McGraneThe Complex is delighted to welcome the work of Leipzig based artist Tine Günther to the Ground Floor Gallery for a solo presentation of her new exhibition titled ALL ONE previewing March 05 running until March 18, 2020.
The work presented in ALL ONE was created in a forest in the north of Leipzig from April to August 2019. Günther takes an ecological approach to nature in art which creates a deeper relationship with the forest, demonstrated through her use egg-tempera colours with natural pigments, which Günther makes herself, to use in her work.
Collaborating with German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig, gave Günther the opportunity to leave the paintings on the forest ground of the Institute, allowing the works to become interrupted and changed by the weather and to use the forest as a base to continue to work on the paintings.
Günther works directly and immediately; her practice is concerned with process and what happens intuitively and spontaneously when making, constantly unveiling what is hidden. She is interested in the threshold between subconscious and reality. The image is counterpart, a gateway to the unspeakable, to abstraction. There is no need for a thematic pretext where she is concerned. She believes in the intelligence of the hand over the intelligence of the head.
Mysticism, alchemy, archaism, abstraction and the dynamics of painting shaped Günther’s education during her studies at the Burg Giebichenstein Art Academy under Professor Ulrich Reimkasten. Many experiments led her from object to abstraction, archaic and shamanistic cultures, and an understanding of how trance and ecstasy can be a vehicle to travel into the subconscious, the realm of dreams. In primitive cultures the two worlds of dream and reality are of equal value, and as they merge into one another they are a means of power and important powerful journeys, asking questions and seeking answers.
Günther’s practice is realised through many disciplines including painting, ceramics, curation, performance and installation. She was a member of the artist collective Gallery FIST and has been consistently showing and curating exhibitions throughout Europe since 2004.
