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."
