About Ulrike Bultmann
"Colour is life." A slogan that the painter Ulrike Bultmann, born in 1954, has chosen absolutely appropriately. The Berlin master student is at home in the world of colour. Whether it is her two-dimensional forms, the painterly traces, or the dreamlike backgrounds - she arranges everything into a colourful firework, also experimenting with techniques and painting surfaces. She is also familiar with the spray can, the felt-tip pen, or handmade cardboard and wooden panels.
Bultmann's stylistic similarity to other colour virtuoso artists such as Henri Matisse or Andy Warhol is evident. In her own way, the artist, who has received prestigious international grants, succeeds in finding the sensitive balance between energy and composition that makes her works so uniquely powerful.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art that has been personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolours, drawing, etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there exist the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a type of modern art, that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
In the history of arts, the starting point of this trend was the work "Les Meules" (1890/1891) by Claude Monet, in which for the first time a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
