G. Küng

SHOWROOM

G.Küng works across image making, installation, and text. Her approach is equal parts conceptual, intuitive and material. Delicate gouache drawings, phone images, short texts and phrases, puzzles, furniture-like objects, distortions of everyday things, fragile assemblage – the list continues to grow – come together to describe emotions with political reverberations. Exhibitions can have a riddle quality while remaining open. She describes her work as thermodynamic – moving from cold to warm and back. Cold is ironic, ambiguous, at times even empty. Warm is explicitly personal. The artist draws from her inner life, unafraid to go deep even if it risks change or being misunderstood. She is likewise interested in a shifting art/life boundary where ethics is key.
