Core No. 832 Artwork

Heikedine Günther (*1966) is a Swiss contemporary artist living and working between Basel and Stalden, Switzerland. She is a painter, printer and sculptor who draws on the connection of abstraction and natural forms as well as the concepts of microcosm and macrocosm. Her leitmotiv is the Core. The Core is a symbol for potential and the longing for the existential. She devotes herself in a playful and experimental way to a variety of basic human themes with a strong focus on medieval art history. In doing so, she is concerned with understanding art as an energetic phenomenon that accelerates growth, both personal and societal. She is strongly concerned with material, color, and technique, drawing on a long-cultivated expertise on medieval art and Old Master techniques. This leads to fascinatingly multi-layered works on the level of both material and meaning that have found their way into international exhibitions and collections.
