Una URSPRUNG
Born in Taipei in 1985, Una Ursprung graduated from Taipei National University of the Arts in 2007 and from the Ecole Européenne Supérieure d’Art de Bretagne in Quimper in 2011 (from which she received the Diplôme National Supérieur d’Expression Plastique, the highest distinction awarded by national arts councils and cultural agencies). She currently lives and works in France. Ursprung’s central theme is landscape, particularly forests and trees. Each forest, at different stages, echoes her life experiences at the time. From France to Taiwan to Switzerland, her constant migrations have brought new possibilities to her creative expressions. She has created primarily in painting, photography and collage. She uses a variety of mediums and techniques to explore the space and visual experiences of painting. She uses abstract lines to create a vivid contrast through the combination of oil paint and spray paint. The liberating and rapid nature of spray paint immediately alters the slow and careful strokes of the original landscape built in the atmosphere of the forest. However, the visual message conveyed by the landscape does not collapse with the spray paint process, but rather is expressed from inner rather than outer intentions. Furthermore, the brushstrokes that carry the body and subliminal messages float on the surface, transforming and reconstructing the visual message. Her paintings take the audience into a realistic forest, following the artist. Ursprung favors a vibrant forest that refers to the essence of nature. Furthermore a metaphor as a reflection on environmental pollution.
