ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Ulrike Balkau has been working and experimenting with concrete for about 25 years and still she's fascinated working with this material, which becomes besides marble and bronze more and more popular nowadays. Past times sign off on the silhouettes and the focus is especially on the human himself and his transience. In this way objects which are discarded, old and disused can be found in her art. The oxidation of the materials creates the impression of aging and left behind. In addition with found, antique objects, it arises human images full of history and stories. Ulrike Balkau uses materials of the deposited, the useless, the worthless in combination with concrete to create expressive, quiet, almost internalized characters with their own magic.

Ulrike Balkau
Germany
Ich arbeite und experimentiert seit ca. 25 Jahren mit dem Werkstoff Beton. Schon immer faszinierte mich dieser Werkstoff, der neben Marmor und Bronze in der Kunst immer mehr Beachtung findet. Im Lauf der letzten 20 Jahre habe ich die Arbeit mit Beton, sowie das veredeln der Oberflächen mit Bronze, Eisen oder Kupfer stets weiter entwickelt. Der Schwerpunkt ist dabei der Mensch und seine Vergänglichkeit. So finden sich weggeworfene Gegenstände in Ulrike Balkaus Arbeiten wieder. Durch die Oxidation der Materialien entsteht der Eindruck von Alter und Zurückgelassenem. In Kombination mit alten, antiken Fundstücken entstehen Menschenbilder voller Geschichte und Geschichten.
