Distinctive
for Gowara Minsa's woodcuts, drawings, cut outs, etchings and
sporadic paintings are the intuitive drawing of creatures between man
and animal, and a meaning that develops during the artistic process.
There’s something (German) expressionist about her work, but you
will also find influences of the naive Art Brut or outsider artist
David Shrigley and his irony.
Gowara
Minsa's
horror vacui world is populated with inbetween-creatures: they evolve
from raw lines, consist of grotesque hands and facial expressions and
create impressions in word and image. The woodcut itself gets more
plasticity: with a laser cutter, Gowara Minsa cuts hands, feet or
silhouettes that she works on in a rather brutal way creating a
friction between precision and spontaneity.
