Wolfram Ullrich

Art & Exhibits

Galerie lange+pult

For over three decades, Ullrich has been blurring the line between painting and sculpture. His “sculptural structures” in painted steel challenge gravity and reshape our perception of space with their interplay of shadows and perspectives. These wall-mounted reliefs appear to float, delivering a dynamic visual experience. His work, showcased widely on the international stage, will soon be honored with retrospectives at the Museum Ritter and the Museum für Konkrete Kunst.
