About

"With 12 Paintings for One Space, the artist, who was born in 1940, takes another radical step. He abandons the realm of vivid colours to revisit his probing of the universe of light – but also for new expeditions into the realm of darkness. Erben’s intention: to harness all the possibilities and impossibilities of light in a windowless space."
– Florian Illies, *The light does not remain light, nor does the dark remain dark – On Ulrich Erben’s art of transformation*; in: *Ulrich Erben – 12 PAINTINGS FOR ONE SPACE / 12 BILDER FÜR EINEN RAUM*, Sies + Höke, 2024

Ulrich Erben

Ulrich Erben (b. 1940) is one of the great German post-war painters. His paintings are in the tradition of concrete art, geometric abstraction, and colour field painting. After studying art in Italy and Germany, Erben returned to the Rhineland and moved into a studio near Düsseldorf, where he created his first “White Paintings” in 1968. His work was later pre- sented at documenta 6 in 1977. Erben’s paintings are more than analytical statements on abstraction. They are bathed in glistening sunlight, creating a tranquil, floating energy field that is both light-footed and well-tempered. His art is a combination of emotion and calculation and transcends colour to become something spiritual. His dialogue between the edge and centre of the image, stripes and larger surfaces, and the vertical and horizontal, is a reflection of his connec- tion to Italy. His works are compositions of nature and light, and can be considered the essence of painting itself.
