SYLVIA KOUVALI PRESENT “BESIDE MYSELF” BY ULRIKE Müller

The gallery is honoured to be presenting Ulrike Müller’s second exhibition with us, throughout both locations, opening first in Piraeus followed shortly after by London.

“Beside Myself” also marks the production of an artist’s book that charts Müller’s drawing practice in depth, a process integral to the enamel paintings she initiated in 2010.

Two hundred and forty “templates”, drawings, in chronological order from the latest to the first, all numbered and organised accordingly. A lexicon as undressing as the revelation of this material. Her forms as shadows, entities and characters; voluminous, even if slim and seemingly empty, resembling archaic lines discovered on ancient pots, children’s fairytales or other familiar places in which modernism resides.
