Overview
Sophie Ullrich studied painting and visual arts under the guidance of Eberhard Havekost at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. The young German artist packs her paintings with a deeply personal visual language, incorporating a mishmash of elements from popular culture, advertisement, and graffiti, while embracing aspects of neo-expressionism. Featuring comic-like stylized figure(s), often reduced to basic outlines, with elongated limbs or missing heads, reflects Ullrich’s playful and humorous approach to imagery. Ullrich’s fusion of influences result in a distinct connection between her subject(s) and the viewer, providing a captivating glimpse into her personal narrative and the broader cultural landscape. She has exhibited at Messe in St. Agnes, Berlin, Tube Culture Hall, Milano, Nosbaum & Reding Gallery, Brussels, Setareh Gallery, Düsseldorf and many more.
