Ulrike Hansen - Colors of summer

Exhibition



On Sunday, June 2, 2024 at 11 a.m., the Tobien Gallery in Husum will open an exhibition with new works by Ulrike Hansen. On display are paintings with summer scenes, painted with egg tempera on canvas. The artist will be present at the opening.

Scenes on the beach, a party in front of a laid table or a landscape after a summer rain, the Berlin artist Ulrike Hansen finds her motifs in nature and in encounters with people. During numerous stays on the North German coast, Ulrike Hanssen collects her impressions and records them in the form of watercolors and sketches. Sometimes it is also photos or illustrations in magazines and on postcards that provide the impetus for a pictorial idea.

Her lively and colorful paintings are created on Zingst or in Berlin. She has a studio in both places and usually works on several paintings at the same time. She intuitively works out the pictorial ideas. She creates works that appeal to the viewer's sensibilities and evoke emotional or real memories of beautiful vacation days.

Ulrike Hansen has made painting with self-made egg tempera paint her trademark, a technique that requires a great deal of experience. Egg tempera is based on an egg-water emulsion and dries quickly during the painting process, the colors become stronger and pastel, color gradients are almost impossible to achieve.

However, Ulrike Hansen has perfectly adapted her painting technique and her painting concept to painting with egg tempera. Her works are figurative, but move on the edge of abstraction. A brushstroke application of paint and the radiant colorfulness of the motifs only come together to create an atmospheric depiction with a strong long-distance effect when viewed from a distance.

As a master student at the Berlin University of the Arts, Ulrike Hansen inherited this play with perception, which makes the viewer himself an important part of the picture, from her mentor Kuno Gonschior. She has perfected this style in her life-affirming pictures and gives visitors to the exhibition a short break from everyday life.
