Join artist Wolfram Ullrich as he walks us through his illustrious career, from his early passion for painting to his current explorations in perception, perspective, and sculpture.
Born in Wurzburg in 1961, the artist's love for art developed during his school years, leading him to the Stuttgart Fine Arts Academy. Here, he spent six years experimenting, discussing, and discovering various materials, ideas, and the fascinating relationship between painting and sculpture. He recalls his influences, from Malevich's constructivism to American Abstract Expressionism and Frank Stella's minimalist approach, and how these guided his early form vocabulary.
The artist then delves into his different production cycles, starting with the 'Cuts' series in 1985, the 'Foldings' in 1989, the 'Zones' and 'Basis' in the 90s, and the 'Planes' in the early 2000s. He discusses his exploration of inside-outside dynamics, color fields, perspective, and volume, and how he brought these elements together in his work.
From the basic geometrical forms to the use of steel and colored pigments, from the interplay of shadow and light to the intricate compositions on the wall, the artist shares the thought process behind his creations, providing rare insights into his artistic vision.
As he ventures into creating independent perspective sculptures, he reflects on his love for material and color, his idea of forcing sculpture into painting, and painting into sculpture, and his plans for the future.
This interview is a captivating journey into the artist's world, a must-watch for art lovers, students, and anyone seeking to understand the depths of artistic creation."
