Gwen Gunter’s art practice brings a freshness to organic geometric abstraction that pays homage to the forebearers of minimalism and hardedge painting. Her shapes are pure yet playful and are energized by curved as well as straight lines that move over and through the composition. Moving to abstraction from objective painting, shapes emerged that brought with them an unexpected vocabulary and meaning. Originally two shapes in opposition, informed by carefully selected color, these shapes have become the impetus of her painting practice. The work continues to evolve as line becomes an increasingly important element in the dialogue.

Located in Atlanta, Ga., Gunter has participated in juried exhibitions across the country from New York to San Francisco as well as the Southeast. Her work can presently be seen at Ann Connelly Fine Art in Baton Rouge, La. , TJ Moberg Gallery in Des Moines, IA, and Kai Lin Art, Atlanta, Ga.
