Gunter Damisch
Né en 1958 à Steyr, Autriche.
Mort en 2016 à Vienne.

À l’âge de 16 ans, il compte déjà 150 bois gravés à son actif. De 1997 à sa mort prématurée en 2016, il dirige le département d’art graphique de l’Académie de Vienne et poursuit une collaboration féconde avec l’atelier : lithos sur pierre, bois gravés, livres d’artistes… Pour son exposition personnelle au musée Albertina en 2013, il souhaite que nous improvisions façon free jazz : une première pour l’atelier ! Depuis Vienne, il nous envoie d’immenses panneaux de bois, déjà taillés.

À Paris, nous composons donc spontanément à quatre mains des pièces uniques, mêlant collage, dessin, peinture, bois gravé et monotype. Un partenaire redoutable d’une virtuosité hors pair.
