"I work with different styles to meet my intentions for each individual painting"
"The paintings are thought to create soothing stimulation in our stressful surroundings. Looking for harmony is one of the present goals in my life as well as in my paintings," says Burr.
Since 2004 Guenter has had the opportunity to display his paintings in the Lighthouse's Gallery on the Noel Shore. He has developed an intense relationship and interest in the whole area, the ever-changing moods and in particular the tides.
“I live here and am lucky to experience the influence of this enormous volume of moving water every day, and feel the challenge of interpreting this mighty power and energy in paintings” says Burr.
Over the last few years Guenter has felt the need more and more to express the non-visible, so has started creating abstract and impressionist paintings. There is no provocation wanted. The paintings are thought to create soothing stimulation in our stressful surroundings. “Looking for harmony is one of the present goals in my life as well as in my paintings”.
“For every painting, my interest is also to honour my teacher Dieter Ludas-Larsen.” Dieter helped to make Guenter aware of how beautiful nature is. To express this beauty in landscapes, flowers and animals, is the most important power driving Guenter to paint. Before passing away in 2004 Dieter left Guenter with a piece of advice that stays with him to this day…
"Don't sign a painting if there is still something you could complete or improve!"
Guenter Burr’s work will be on show at the Fort Edward Gallery from September 23rd until October 20th 2010.
