Although his subjects are often the animals that were his neighbours during his time in the bush, Guhrs does not regard himself as a wildlife artist.

Mark Read of the Everard Read Gallery in Johannesburg agrees. In spite of his isolation from the urban art scene, he places Vic Guhrs in the ranks of major contemporary African artists rather than in the mainstream of so-called "Wildlife artists", whom he accuses of endlessly rehashing scenes of majestically tusked elephants dozing under umbrella acacias or sagacious leopards nonchalantly draped over branches in front of a setting sun. "Vic's work can be equally appreciated in New York or London or Sydney or Tokyo because he is an artist, not just an amateur with a paintbrush in search of an appealing wildlife subject."
