Heikedine Günther has dedicated her artistic career to depicting the essential base of our existence.
The post Heikedine Günther’s Historical and Intercultural Depictions of The ‘Core’ appeared first on LUXUO.
Born in 1966 in rural Westphalia, Germany, Heikedine Günther was raised and based in Basel and Stalden since 2009. Using the ?core? as her artistic leitmotif, Günther?s fascination with the use of natural material such as fat, felt, and hair, began as early as 1982, inspiring her to eventually study art at a multitude of academies in New York, Hamburg, and Kassel.
Kickstarting her career as a figurative artist in 2004, Heikedine Günther has dedicated her entire artistic career to the potential of the ?core?. An element which she believes represents every single biological cell of our bodies, the basic form of every planet of the cosmic system, and the essential base of our existence. Her search for the archetype of the core, the innermost cell that holds everything together, has thus led her into intense research and engagement with historical art practices and intercultural symbols ? making Günther an expert in the field of medieval and illuminated manuscripts.
