Ulrike Buhl lives in Berlin and Sassenberg (Germany). She studied acting and singing in Vienna, Hamburg and Berlin. Rhythms and musical structures, modulations of lines play a major role in her works. However, she is not concerned with rigid perfection, but gives room to uncertainties and weaknesses. She deals with unusual materials and techniques throughout her artistic work.

In her work, apparent contradictions such as microcosm and macrocosm, art andscience, nature and fiction, organism and high tech meet. The linking of contradictions can be found as a background motif in all of Ulrike Buhl’s works. In addition to sculptures, she creates reliefs, collages and installations from various materials. The internationally exhibiting artist presents her works in solo and group exhibitions, among others in Munich, Duesseldorf, Berlin, Turin and Athens.

Ulrike Buhl comes primarily from sculpture and installation. Ambivalent, constantly changing, mutating, Buhl’s works are futuristic sculptural installations that depict a world in constant flux. Her works oscillate between beautiful and menacing, man- made and natural. On the one hand, the visual characteristics of the pieces automatically suggest something unnatural, man-made, and inorganic; Through the visual qualities of shimmering car paint and shiny surfaces, we are prepared for something wondrous and magical. On the other hand, the forms are biomorphic, natural and spontaneous, resembling magnified viral structures or microorganisms, symbolising the endless cycle of creation found in nature. The energy in the works is escalating and it feels like they will explode at any moment.
