"Ulrike Buhl primarily comes from sculpture and installation. Ambivalent, constantly changing, mutating, Buhl's works are futuristic sculptural installations that depict a world in constant flux. Her works oscillate between beautiful and menacing, man- made and natural. On the one hand, the visual characteristics of the pieces automatically suggest something unnatural, man-made, and inorganic; Through the visual qualities of shimmering car paint and shiny surfaces, we are prepared for something wondrous and magical. On the other hand, the forms are biomorphic, natural and spontaneous, resembling magnified viral structures or microorganisms, symbolising the endless cycle of creation found in nature. The energy in the works is escalating and it feels like they will explode at any moment."
