Public Tour «Sophie Ullrich – Hot Sauce in My Eyes»

Description

With «Hot Sauce in My Eyes», the Galerie da Mihi is showcasing for the first time works by artist Sophie Ullrich in a comprehensive solo exhibition. Her painting combines hyperrealistic precision on abstract backgrounds and creates visual worlds between overwhelm and lightness. The new works were partly created during her residency at the Bern PROGR and poetically reflect impressions of the city. Opening hours Thu. / Fri. 2:00 PM – 7:00 PM Sat. 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM Who is Sophie Ullrich? Sophie Ullrich (*1990) was born in Geneva, now lives and works in Cologne. She studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and graduated as a master student of Eberhard Havekost. She belongs to the youngest generation of visual artists whose highly regarded positions are awakening the art world. Her works combine a clear, often hyperrealistic visual language with comic-like figures, ironic distortions, and surreal shifts. Ullrich creates scenes that seem both light and profound – images that smile and make you think. Galerie da Mihi is exhibiting the artist in Bern for the first time and thus introduces an independent position of new painting for discussion. Works that move between pop culture, everyday observation, and subtle social critique. Sophie Ullrich has already gained international recognition in recent years. She has had solo exhibitions at the Piero Atchugarry Gallery in Miami (2024), at Galerie Droste Galadé in Paris (2025), and for the Ice Cream Projects, she was also exhibited in Zurich.
