Gunter Pusch
Gunter Pusch (born 1962 in Landshut, Germany) initially worked as a car and aeronautical mechanic before pursuing a degree in architecture at the University of Applied Sciences of Munich in 1991. During his studies, Pusch specialized in industrial and architectural drawing. Concurrently, he embarked on extensive travels throughout Southeast Asia, India, China, the United States, Indonesia, Israel, and Jordan.
In 1992, Pusch initiated his architectural career while simultaneously exploring abstract painting. His artistic style shifted to figuration in 2001, following a visit to abandoned factories in Milan and Pavia, Italy. In 2002, he relocated to Italy, where he established his art practice in Milan.
In 2014, Pusch opened an atelier in Milan and transitioned to working exclusively as an artist. His paintings depict a juxtaposition of technology and nature, characterized by a blend of mechanical alienation and the vibrancy of life. Humans and the environment are portrayed in competition for dominance. Motors serve as symbolic representations of internal mechanisms, sometimes replacing the locus of emotions, emphasizing the conflict between nature and technology.
Pusch currently resides and creates in Milan, Italy.
