Patric Güntert
Painter & Draftsman 'Painting the Ordinary Slowly'
Patric Güntert is an older contemporary British painter and draughtsman, who predominently paints still lifes, which record ordinary domestic life through slow looking, classical composition, a deliberately limited palette and patient preperation, he also paints places and landscapes from time to time, and less often, but with the same slow intensity, people.
He is a painter of ordinary things that have acquired a rich life through attention and time, be they an apple, a jug, a hill or a person, in the process he preserves a version of 20th/21st‑century European domesticity that’s already slipping away.
He paints in both oils and acrylics but does not mix the two, he is also a skilled draftsman capable of producing complex images, sometimes disturbing, in ink, graphite and crayon.
