With his diverse oeuvre, Günther Hornig (1937 Bitterfeld - 2016 Dresden) is one of the most inspiring abstract artists in Dresden. As early as the 1960s, he experimented with informal, sometimes concrete artistic formal languages.
Through layering, overlapping and sequencing, Günther Hornig placed surface structures in dialogue-like relationships, determined by harmony and disparity, order and chaos. The question of the influence of individual material and colour segments on entire structures and the incessant search for a unity of opposites are central concerns in the artist's work.
In a first museum retrospective, we are presenting the most important groups of works in the artist's oeuvre: collages, material pictures, paintings, objects and towers.
