About this artwork
Like the work "Abandoned Children's Swing", this picture was created during the war in Ukraine. The white ruins symbolize the immeasurable destruction in war-torn Ukraine and thus the suffering of the affected population. Since one would expect a blackened building based on the television images, the white seems rather irritating. In the artistic implementation, it stands for the dignity of the historic city building and, not least, for the hope… for a peaceful future. This also applies to the orange tones that illuminate the ruins from behind: is it still the conflagration or already the dawn?
Günther Baechler, an art teacher, painter, conflict researcher with a doctorate, and peace diplomat, works primarily with oil paints but also experiments with acrylics, spray paint, and natural materials such as sand, stones, and wood. Since returning to painting in 2018, his work has followed a thematic development closely linked to his experiences: climate change, environmental destruction, armed conflicts, and their societal transformation. The artist walks a fine line between representational and abstract art, with abstract painting taking center stage recently. While earth tones and textures dominated his earlier works, he increasingly employs a broad palette. The smaller formats of his most recent work demonstrate a strong and contrasting use of color, without uncritically following the current trend of vibrant hues.
