About 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."
Graphic or sculpture edition that was initiated by ars mundi and is available only at ars mundi or at distribution partners licensed by ars mundi.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, spurt".
The giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format printout on an inkjet printer with special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The colours are fade-proof, i.e. resistant to harmful UV light. They have a high richness of nuance, contrast and saturation.
The giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade and watercolour paper as well as for silk.
