Wolfram Ullrich's 'GAP' Exhibition at Exchiesetta in Polignano a Mare
Wolfram Ullrich (Würzburg, 1961), a leading exponent of 'object painting,' presents his 'pictorial sculptures' at the Exchiesetta in Polignano a Mare. The exhibition, titled 'GAP,' explores the perceptual dichotomy between 'full' and 'empty' through sculptural language that interpenetrates with painting. The core installation consists of three identical suspended sculptures made of corten steel, oriented in different directions. This work was previously exhibited in an ancient trullo in Ceglie Messapica, the summer venue of Dep Art Gallery in Milan. For Polignano, Ullrich added the trapezoidal sculpture 'Window' and two paper creations from the same cycle dating back to 1995. Curator Carmelo Cipriani notes that this is a specific homage to the Apulian territory, as Ullrich partially deviates from constructivist geometric rigor to interact with nature and the exhibition context.
