For Ull Hohn, painting was far more than just an artistic form—it was a space where discourse, techniques, and personal reflections intertwined. At a time when painting was widely seen as an exhausted medium, Hohn sought renewal from within. In his works from the late 1980s and early 1990s, he explored the connections between formal and political approaches to art through several series of paintings. Hohn consistently made himself the starting point of his works, reflecting on his position as an artist shaped by his origins, abilities, body, and sexuality. He experimented with forms of representation that probed the boundaries of mass media appropriation and the tension between virtuosity and amateurism, opening painting up for self-reflection.

The exhibition sheds light on the tension between formal dedication and the exploration of current artistic and political discourses. Questions about the relevance of painting and the positioning of an artist, especially in relation to one’s identity, shaped Hohn’s artistic path and remain central to subsequent generations of artists. In 2023, Haus am Waldsee presented a selection of Ull Hohn’s works as part of the exhibition Bruno Pélassy and the Order of the Starfish.  

 

The exhibition is supported by:
Haus am Waldsee – Friends and Supporters
Between Bridges
Stark Foundation
