Günther was born in 1922.

After prime school he became a journeyman painter. Later on he started as a trainee at painter Kai Trier, in Haderslev, Denmark.

He had his first one-man exhibition in Aabenraa in 1942.

He has taken study tours to: Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Stockholm, Barcelona, Malaga, Provence and Arizona.

Exhibitions: The Art building Odense, Skovgaard museum Viborg, Brande Gallery, Aabenraa and Haderslev museum among many more.

He is coaching the artist group Niehuskredsen, and he has worked with another group of artists in Ellensburg.

In the beginning Günther's work was very naturalistic, but after a while being a trainee with the painter Kai Trier, he was influenced by his style. The paintings got a different character. It was quite constructive for a period, but after a while it became more imaginative and dreamy.

It is difficult to categorize Günther's work. He has always been very curious and is always experimenting with new techniques and ways to express himself.

The palette which Günther is using has been characterized by the blue colours, warm and cold.

Günther has always been experimenting with colours. His work with complementary colours was shown at the Phänomenta exhibition in Ellensburg. After this very abstract period people appeared in his paintings. Anonymous people as symbolic and compositional elements.

His home is always open to anyone who might be interested in his work.
