Ulrich Lamsfuss Same same but different You are kindly invited to attend the opening of the exhibition on Wednesday 18. April 2012 from 6 to 9 pm Exhibition: until June 2, 2012 Ulrich Lamsfuss reproduces in his paintings images found in a wide variety of media such as National Geographic, travel and fashion magazines, cinema or art related publications. Working his way across a feint pencil grid with a meticulous precision, his paintings contrast the sources on which they are based, momentary snapshots captured in a fraction of a second. The glossy photographic surface is replaced by a sensuous painted structure that stresses the contrasts, thus creating a theatrical atmosphere. Lamsfuss occasionally creates his own imagery by staging the picture, as for “Heike Ollertz/Ulrich Lamsfuss, African Torso, Dual-Sex (3B Scientific), Made in Germany III” Ulrich Lamsfuss’ new work continues to explore and question the principles of reproduction and authorship: “I am once again the author, but in a more complex, more broken-up, more multi-dimensional way”. Ulrich Lamsfuss was born in 1971 in Bonn. He lives and works in Berlin.
