Studio Sale | Eva Ullrich
17 JANUARY 2022 - 09 FEBRUARY 2022Notes
Opportunity to purchase an original painting which was one of a series of five commissioned by Tomatin distillery (Scotland) in 2016 to celebrate the Launch of their award winning limited edition series of single malts: The Five Virtues.
"At first, Eva Ullrich’s work appears abstract – a series of colours placed on a page – yet, as is with whisky production, there is much more to her process of creation.
Ullrich uses “painting’s inherent language as a platform to create landscapes”. She is not an abstract artist, she is a landscape artist who embraces and is embraced by the rhythm of nature, which made her the perfect partner for this limited series.
The Five Virtues are five dynamic movements of energy. The series focuses on transformation, with strong marks running right through, shifting from one side of the canvas to the other. Ullrich let the process of painting unfold naturally.
Each element generates the next - the marks of the textured grain in wood blend intuitively into fire, warm colours evaporate into a glowing heat. Charred ash breaks down into earthy reds and greens using real earth pigments. The subtle green and purple layers in metal blend continuously into watery shapes with animated broken marks in water."
Any successful bidder will also have the chance purchase a rare and valuable bottle of single malt whiskey of the same name (no longer available elsewhere) with the painting.
