Ulrich Lamsfuß - Vierzehn Arten, den Regen zu beschreiben. (Fourteen ways to describe the rain)

Ulrich Lamsfuss, an appropriation artist who deliberately blurs the line between painting and photography, reproduces in his paintings images found in a wide variety of media such as National Geographic, travel and fashion magazines, cookbooks or art related publications.
Working his way across a feint pencil grid with a meticulous precision, his paintings contrast the sources on which they are based, momentary snapshots captured in a fraction of a second.
The glossy photographic surface is replaced by a sensuous painted structure that stresses the contrasts, thus creating a theatrical atmosphere.
Ulrich Lamsfuss’ new work continues to explore and question the principles of reproduction and authorship: “I am once again the author, but in a more complex, more broken-up, more multidimensional way”.
