Ulla Neureiter | Erlkönig I, 2024
Lithograph
Media Dimensions: 76 x 57 cm
Image Dimensions: 66 x 47 cm
Edition of 3
Framed only
The core of Ulla's work explores the deep relationship between the human body and its unique expression and observation of emotions. Importance is laid on the reconnection to our emotionality and intuition, one’s inner physical sensations that express the response to outer circumstances, as well as manifestations of trauma and unconscious information. Working increasingly with painful emotions and memories, she enforces a healing process by scratching deeply underneath the surface, to finally open up to absolute vulnerability, leading her path back to the exploration of grief and the language of death and comfort, spoken between the dying and those left behind. Finding purity in the nude body, she enhances the emotional vulnerability by embracing the comfort of her own skin and promote its innocence against all social stigmata, leaving her behind to meditate on what defines the realness of being human, and the duality of living as a being connected to this earth, with access to its conscious knowledge, and modern society at the same time, which defines itself through the endless connectivity of digital information. Printmaking as a medium allows Ulla to utilize its slowness to transfer her energy into something physical. She uses her body as a tool and not just a reference, to incorporate its touch, movement, and performance as an important part alongside the visual outcome of the artwork. She is letting the medium come alive and subsequently decay, by scratching into it, into a deeper surface to unfold its vulnerability, alongside her own.
