Verena Guther: Mythos Stadt

Verena Guther's oeuvre is highly multifaceted. On canvas and steel sheets, she creates large-scale color field paintings. However, the main focus of her work lies in the social and urban structures of metropolises. She captures the rhythm of megacities like Istanbul, New York, and Shanghai, along with their complexity and atmospheric density, translating the upheavals and processes of constant change into her images.

With a clear and highly sensitive eye for detail, Verena Guther extracts the unique aspects of these metropolises in her works. What she brings back from her residencies—photographic, filmic, and mental materials—she translates into well-composed photomontages and expressive collages.

Verena Guther's works have been successfully showcased in numerous exhibitions, collections, and art fairs both domestically and internationally (Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Poland, the USA, Canada, Korea, China, and Japan).
