Afternoons in Utopia @ Galerie Daniel Templon

09/06/2012 @ 8:00 am - 21/07/2012 @ 5:00 pm

It’s been 5 years since the Berlin “post picture artist”  Ulrich Lamsfuss last came to Paris. Half a decade (sounds a lot doesn’t it?) since his hyper-realistic and destabilizing paintings invaded central Paris @ Galerie Daniel Templon.

But yesterday his distorted and augmented paintings willing to “challenge the notion of originality” invaded Rue Beaubourg once again with his “Afternoons in Utopia” (title  borrowed from the new wave band Berlin Alphaville ) .. a journey around the theme of portraiture. Paintings from stolen photos, famous faces, unknown, commissioned portraits… 20 playful works evoking the promises and illusions of an era with its decadence and the added difficulty of capturing reality in an objective way.

Just over a month for you to drop by the Gallery, and just over a month to become detectives for a day seeking Ulrich’s sources. More info & images this way please.
