OverviewPortrait of Sophie Ullrich by Marko Seifert
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.
