Detailed description
Picture "Dame de Coeur", on stretcher frame
Lucky in love, lucky at the cards of life: Ulrike Langen's "Dame de Coeur". Friedrich Schiller said that people are only fully human when they play. Ulrike Langen steps it up a notch: "Life itself is a game; you master it by playing or not at all". But she says it with great optimism: her picture shows her queen of heart - and a "lucky" roll of the dice.
The original artwork was transferred directly onto 100% cotton artist canvas using the Fine Art Giclée process for a brilliant, authentic reproduction and mounted on a stretcher frame. Limited edition of 199 copies, numbered and hand-signed on the back. Size 90 x 90 cm. Exclusively at ars mundi.

About Ulrike Langen
Born in Aalen, Germany, studied design, lives and works in Aalen and Provence.
Ulrike Langen’s experience in the fashion industry is visible in her painterly works. She likes to choose bright, perfectly coordinated colours and combines colourful painting with filigree graphic elements of antiquity and modernity. Numerous influences from the past combined with extravagant motifs from life and everyday life characterise her works.
Langen depicts dream worlds reminiscent of the pop art of Lichtenstein or Wesselmann. However, she remains committed to a concept of beauty that is not only "fashionable" but thoroughly classical.
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, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
