Günther Förg (Füssen, 1952) presents on this occasion – it is already the fifth solo show held at the Heinrich Ehrhardt Gallery – a series of large-format canvases and papers in mixed media from his most recent production.

He is a multifaceted, versatile artist, and an indispensable figure in German art of the last two decades. Förg has always worked in very different artistic fields; both painting and sculpture have been fields in which he has developed equally, without missing photography – which, as could be seen in the previous exhibition, Alvaro Siza-Santiago de Compostela, 2006- focuses on a substantial study of the architecture of that rational form and absent of artifices so close to the new German objectivity.

On this occasion the canvases abandon the bars worked on in previous years to become stains, points of color with expressive brushstrokes that are and reflect on the surface, that rest and intermingle when they should. In contrast to the spectacular canvases, the drawings, a mixture of techniques such as charcoal and small-format watercolors, poetic in them, close to the lines of Cy Twombly, De Kooning, others, and logically all of Förg himself.
