On
Friday, January 3rd, Nuwandart, located at 258 A St., is proud
to open the year with an amazing show by Ulla entitled Scratchings.
The show will consist of numerous pieces created over the last
dozen years by local artist and teacher Ulla.
Ulla
was born in Angola and spent the first 6 years of her life on
a tobacco farm. One day while playing with her kids, she was
reminded of a technique of layering crayons and then scratching
images into the wax. She realized that she could make images
like bodies and faces and other things. Six months and 60 paintings
later she realized that she’d scratched herself out of
her 12 year marriage.
10
years later she’s still happily scratching away, and we
here at Nuwandart are proud to present to the public for the
first time a wide variety of her amazing pieces.
After
visiting Ulla’s home to assist her in selecting pieces
for the show, Nuwandart owner Jochen Ziems remarked. “I
was floored by the variety and positive nature of her work.
There is so much light, love, and emotion being channeled through
her and her work. It's a great show to start the New Year.“
Nuwandart
is also happy to announce that its recent remodel was a huge
success and they are very happy with the changes.
