About Amelie Von Wulffen
Unravelling narrative threads of German folklore in tandem with tropes of psychoanalysis, Amelie Von Wulffen’s canvases host unsettling yet beguiling scenes which strike at the existential questions surrounding a specifically German cultural heritage. Often using personal memories and the family structure as a site to digest a collective sense of the subconscious, her paintings pull the viewer in with remnants of familiarity. Fairy tale figures are repositioned in unfamiliar environments, scale and proportion are stretched to their limits and her painterly style shifts between precise art historical rendering and more free-form, expressive amateur art. Outside of painting, Von Wulffen also works in drawing and sculpture, often repurposing household objects — drawing out the conceptual currents of the domestic.
