Uli Aschenborn


Hans Ulrich "Uli" Aschenborn is an Southern African animal painter. The musea in Windhoek and Swakopmund have artwork of Uli as well as the National Art Gallery of Namibia.

Work

The Namibian media branded Uli Aschenborn's new style Amazing Changing Art, because his new creations change – be it by themselves or because the viewer changes his position - or the painting is moved. For his chameleon-paintings, which change color and content if the angle of view is changed, he only needs sand and paint on his canvas. The changing shadow of Aschenborn's turning sculptures show metamorphoses, e.g. the aging of a boy to an old man eventually to a skeleton. The images within his Morph-Cubes distort in a grotesque way while the onlooker moves. Because movement is an integral part of these art works they are Kinetic Art.
Uli's paintings are inspired by not only his roots in Namibia, but by European liveliness complemented by landscapes - also by abstract art.
The “Ensad Alumni Paris”, of the “l'Association des anciens élèves de l'École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs” has appointed Uli Aschenborn honorary member in 2018.
