MONKEY MIND – David Gunderlach. Malerei aus Vier Dekaden

In the organizer's words:

For the first time, Haus Kunst Mitte is presenting an exhibition of works by painter David Gunderlach entitled Monkey Mind. On display are 50 paintings created over the last four decades. The exhibition title Monkey Mind refers to a Buddhist concept that describes the volatility and restlessness of the human brain and the lack of control over the flow of thoughts.

Gunderlach's works are characterized by this restlessness. Many brushstrokes pointing in all directions, sketchy depictions of everyday objects and graffiti-like words and letters testify to a fast way of working. His works are not only a symbol of the fast pace of our thoughts, but also of the fast pace of our modern lives. They stand for the realities of life at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, which are characterized by permanent acceleration, the compulsion to increase, innovation intensification and constant accessibility. Gunderlach's open compositions and the many references to city life embody the absurdity of the simultaneity of our everyday lives.

Gunderlach was born in Neu-Ulm in 1957 and first studied acting and then painting. In 1987, he brought back his unmistakable style from a one-year working stay in New York, the art metropolis on the east coast of the USA, which appealed to all his senses.
