In this episode of WAS MIT KUNST, Johann König welcomes the artist Guy Yanai, whose exhibition YOUR WORLD NOT MINE is now on view at KÖNIG GALERIE in Berlin.

Guy Yanai’s paintings are characterized by bold colors, simplified shapes, and a flattened depth of field. In his work, the banal is reduced to geometric segments in a stripping away of references to the tangible world in favor of a visual experience that is more akin to digital imagery – drawing landscapes images from his wanderings around the globe, or French filmography scenes which he reminiscences through.

Over the course of the podcast, Yanai explains how he got into art in the first place, speaks about his influences, and explains his paintings on view at KÖNIG GALERIE in detail.
