Lucille Uhlrich
Massimo Dutti’s ArtInProgress project was created with the mission to promote the creativity of local artists from around the world. One of the latest collaborations has been with artist Lucille Uhlrich in the Ibiza shop.
Lucille Uhlrich is a French sculptor. Her practice plays with the different ways in which time passes through matter. She collects and assembles raw materials from her surroundings. Her forms are polymorphous and tend to maintain an open meaning that questions the things we leave behind.

“Polymorphic
forms which
tend to
maintain an
open-ended
meaning.”
The continuity of Lucille Uhlrich’s work lies in her conviction that there is no progress in Art, but rather a conjugation of epochs and styles where meaning and wonder meet in what a thinker like Walter Benjamin calls ‘dialectical images’. To produce such images, he telescopes and assembles technical means with the aim of producing graphic syntagms whose ambiguity and polymorphism challenge the viewer at the heart of his own way of understanding and making sense. Plastically, then, his work is characterised by an open play with the reference to languages and by a certain taste for inventing unstable balances that renew the perception of associations between materials and forms.

“Different
assemblies and
techniques
such as
ceramics,
painting or
carving”
Lucille Uhlrich’s work asks how one thing can be transformed into another and how to find balance in movement. Her work is composed of assemblages of various materials and employs techniques ranging from ceramics, painting and carving. His work has been exhibited in France at La Villa Noailles, Le Centre d’Art des Capucins, High Art Galerie, Louis Lefebvre Galerie and Florence Loewy Galerie. His work has also been exhibited worldwide: at Lace in Los Angeles, in London at Unit One Gallery and at the Fondation Thalie in Brussels, among others.
