Ulrich Pester, Lupo fühlen [Feeling Lupo], 2015
, Gesso, oil on wood \ 37 x 29 cm
Kollitsch Collection

Ulrich Pester always explores new avenues in his approach to painting. Banal everyday images are transformed into new images by the painting process and these are reveal subtle messages and delicate visual wit with their formal clarity. Detached from its original function, in Lupo fühlen the bubble wrap is transformed from a banal original motif into a medium of sensual touching and feeling.

Like a colourful collection of curios, Ulrich Pester confronts us with familiar objects from everyday life and nature in their wide range of forms. However he overcomes the purely naturalistic imagery by rising far above the physical properties and laws of logic and blending these objects with hypothetical worlds of feeling as part of a metamorphosis process.
