Exhibition flyer

Dennis Ulbrich, born in 1989 in Pforzheim, is an up-and-coming German artist who, with his powerful and colorful compositions, moves between painting, object and sculpture.

After studying painting and graphics with Prof. Helmut Dorner and Prof. Franz Ackermann at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe, which he completed in 2017 as a master student of Franz Ackermann, Dennis Ulbrich has developed his very own style over time.

His unusual material combinations of wood, Plexiglas, metal, and paper, combined with vibrant acrylic paints, varnishes, and spray techniques, merge into dynamic compositions that are as intense as they are surprising. His enthusiasm for experimentation is also evident in his constant exploration of new ideas. For example, he created everything from a tree bark object for public spaces to graphic works for skateboards. Each material he uses has a meaning and aesthetic potential that are inscribed in his art, and the artist enjoys utilizing its qualities.

Recently, he has been particularly interested in memories, emotions, and the traces humans leave behind in nature—often unconscious, sometimes destructive, but usually full of stories and interconnections. Who is shaping whom here?

The resulting architectures offer new perspectives on structure, depth, and dynamics. They invite us to take a closer look, decipher the stories of the individual parts, and ask ourselves: What are we leaving behind? What impact do our actions have on the environment? How will we interact with nature in the future? How will the relationship between us and our environment be perceived?

Exhibitions such as "The View from Above" at the Nordheimer Scheune in 2019 or the presentation at Art Karlsruhe in 2024 have shown that Ulbrich's works are far more than aesthetically pleasing statements – they challenge, inspire, and remain memorable. His art is part of everyday life, it is sustainable, and it demonstrates responsibility!

Dennis Ulbrich lives and works in Neuenbürg.

A catalogue for the exhibition will be published.
