Seed bag. Popcorn. Play dice. At first glance, these motifs have nothing in common. Through the gaze of artist Günter Beiers, however, they become a series of everyday objects whose coloring and arrangement make them main characters. Incidence of light and structure seem random, but result in unique perspectives.

Beier emphasizes the richness of detail in his works. Through his gaze, the objects are magnified and exaggerated. They are illusions of bright colors and at the same time real objects of everyday life. Especially his illustrations of model railroads and their accessories such as figures, trees and other details, taken from brochures and catalogs: the aesthetics reflect us a supposed ideal world from past times. In doing so, he does not comment on them, but merely reproduces them.
His works are represented in the HARIBO collection, among others. In addition, his works have been purchased by Fitch Ratings, the Kolon Group, Korea, and the collection of AIDA Cruises in Rostock. His paintings can be found in private collections at home and abroad.
