Drawing 'Urban Spring 2' (Katrin Günther)
Drawing: Ink and acrylic on paper
Title: Urban Spring 2
Artist: Katrin Günther (1970)
Museum MORE, Gorssel, The Netherlands, had last year an interesting exhibition called 'Size Matters | Monumental Drawings', where you could see dozens of large-scale and imposing drawings. All these works of art measure at least 2 meters in height of width, larger than most people themselves.
I visited this exhibition, just a day before it ended and was quite impressed. I will show you a few works. Enjoy ;-))
Katrin Günther makes dizzying drawings of imaginary architectonic landscapes: both two-dimensional(ink on paper) and spatial (using virtual reality).
This work is not framed, just stuck to the wall. That explains the shadow on the bottom.
The artist herself:
"The spaces and landscapes that surround us, shape us and direct our thoughts and our actions. In my work I explore these spaces and the relationships between them. Perspective and extra large formats are very important here: we need to be sucked into the picture.
As I draw, I imagine what it would be like to stare down from the mountains and terraces in my drawings into the gaping depths.Virtual reality has therefore enabled me to fulfill a long-held desire: to experience my own drawings physically."
