The Polomarco Gallery presents “Street Scripts,” its inaugural exhibition dedicated to urban art, featuring artists L’Atlas and Rafael Sliks. This visual dialogue delves into urban calligraphy transformed into sensory shapes and messages. L’Atlas, a Parisian trained in calligraphy in Morocco and Egypt, merges geometric abstraction with scriptural traditions to craft optical and enigmatic works.

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.
