Portrait of the artist Ule W. Ritgen

Ule W. Ritgen

Ule W. Ritgen is a true multi-talent and internationally successful painter, lyricist and musician.

In 2007, he was voted one of the top 5 songwriters in Japan. His band "Fair Warning" has long been a cult in Asia: "I already had golden records on the wall as a musician when my childhood dream of painting caught up with me again." In his paintings, he combines surreal dreamscapes with old-masterly pictorial composition: "It is only a wafer-thin membrane that separates the world of our dreams from the so-called 'real world'. For me, the transitions are completely fluid – reality has many levels and facets."
