The art of Günther Förg demonstrates a great readiness to take risks with given artistic genres, which he undermines and whose strict classification he consistently refuses. In innovative and diverse ways, his interaction with artistic disciplines is unexpected, his combinations are free and playful. Günther Förg sees himself as a >>agent of suspense>> whose >>artistic fields>> develop over an extremely wide spectrum. Above all, he wants his art to be highly effective and to have a broad-based reception. Today, his oeuvre includes painting (also murals), photography (architecture and portraits), sculpture and graphic art, he is a confident traveller between them all: the crossing of boundaries is a fundamental characteristic of his art.
