A diverse range of image materials from many different media sources forms the starting point of Ulrich Lamsfuß’s work. Based on a fascination with imagery, he transfers images to painting based on the principle of ‘Everything is said, just not by everyone’ and allows the painting process to give rise to a new reality which, through its reproduction, broaches the issues of truth and illusion in images.

Ulrich Lamsfuss meticulously transfers photographs into painting, addressing questions about reality  and illusion, beauty and truth, medialisation and perception. He takes his models from the vast flood of information available to us at the present time, selected from different areas of the media ranging from fashion and science magazines to film and advertising, as well as art history. Taking the photograph as a media product based on reality as a starting point, his image transcriptions are presented in a new concept, showing a new reality, a new illusion.

Ulrich Lamsfuß works meticulously to transfer photographs to painting and in doing so, seeks to call into question reality and illusion, beauty and truth, mediatisation and perception. He selects his templates from the wide-ranging flood of information available in our modern age and bases his creations on various media spheres ranging from fashion and natural science magazines to film, advertising and the history of art. Starting with photography as a media product of reality, his image transcriptions are placed within a new context and demonstrate a new reality, a new illusion.
