About Ulrike Buhl
Ulrike Buhl (*1967 in Bad Boll) creates abstract biomorphic sculptures that grow and spring into the space. "I am interested in inventing and creating ever new forms that emerge from the chosen theme, the means, the material and the working process," says the artist about her sculptures.
Works by Ulrike Buhl can be found in the Bertelsmann Stiftung, Gütersloh, the Museum für Lackkunst, Münster and the Royal Caribbean International, Miami, USA, among others.
Ulrike Buhl lives and works in Berlin and Sassenberg, NRW.
Graphic artwork in the making of which the artist combines at least two graphic techniques.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art that has been personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolours, drawing, etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there exist the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a type of modern art, that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
In the history of arts, the starting point of this trend was the work "Les Meules" (1890/1891) by Claude Monet, in which for the first time a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
