“Pop Up Girl No. 725” by Ulrike Langen, limited edition pigment print on aluminum Dibond

Born in Aalen (Baden-Württemberg), Ulrike Langen studied design and lives and works in Aalen and Provence. Her background in the fashion industry is evident in her painting: she favors vibrant, perfectly coordinated colors and combines broad, color-block painting with delicate graphic elements from antiquity and modernity. Numerous influences from the past, combined with extravagant motifs from everyday life, characterize her work. Langen depicts dreamlike worlds reminiscent of the Pop Art of Lichtenstein or Wesselmann. However, she remains committed to a concept of beauty that is not merely "fashionable," but rather classical.
