Ulrike Muenchhoff's painting draws on the stock of the everyday: objects from the domestic environment, found things from natural and urban space, fabrics with their folds. Among them is also the palette as a mixed surface of colours, which refers the medium back to itself in a self-reflexive way and addresses the artist's own role as an artist.
At the centre of her interest is, among other things, the motif of the fold: the fabric with its distortions, shadows and edges of light is freed from any definite determination and becomes an autonomous element that can be associated with flowing water. Precisely the fold motif, which in art history has always been closely bound to veiling, corporeality and domestic, female-coded labour, opens Ulrike Muenchhoff's painting to feminist questions about visibility and the worthiness of the supposedly ephemeral to be depicted.
Figurative and non-figurative elements are joined in an interplay of flatness and modelling into a pictorial space full of formal and emotional tension.
