One Day Only!
Christopher Ulrich is a painter of surreal, iconographic images. He is influenced by the richness of ancient mythology, the mystery of alchemy, and the vastness of cosmic reality. He is one of the most influential artists of his generation of pop-surrealists, respected as much by other painters as by patrons and the general public. He has been a great mentor to young artists, continuing a great tradition he began with artist Burne Hogarth nearly two decades ago. Ulrich has published a deluxe, hard cover book of the first part of his Christ Chronocrater Cycle, the Demoneater series, which was presented as a retrospective exhibition by Grand Central Art Center, elevating him from gallery to museum artist. His follow-up, the Illuminator series debuted to great acclaim in August, 2010 at La Luz de Jesus Gallery, and was soon after re-exhibited at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery at Barnsdall Park for the second annual Beyond Eden Art Fair. That same month, Ulrich was included in the Art of the Lowbrow Tarot exhibition, which has garnered international praise and will be realized as a published book and deck set in early 2011.
To say that Christopher Ulrich is an artist with pedigree is to grossly understate things.
Never one to rest idly, Christopher has already begun working on the final chapter of his Christ Chronocrater Cycle. The Reckoning will debut on December 7th, 2012 at La Luz de Jesus Gallery. Part of Ulrich's creative process involves completely bannishing from his studio any remnants of his previous exhibitions. As such, we are proud to offer a treasure trove of Ulrich's early works in combination with never-before-seen drawings, studies and paintings in a variety of sizes and price ranges. Included are original Demoneater and Illuminator work studies (some as large as three and four feet in diameter) that reveal a highly detailed discovery process, priced for less than you might expect to pay for a print. Each of Christopher Ulrich's finished paintings, full of Christian, Kabbalistic and Alchemical iconography, is the culmination of dozens of these studies, each with their own set of prolific notes; each utilizing multiple illustration & painting techniques, rendered to exhibition quality.
This is the perfect opportunity for new collectors to acquire inexpensive masterpieces, and a rare chance for both new and long-time patrons to be able to collect multiple works from a museum exhibiting artist. There will be hundreds of pieces on display, a fraction of which are pictured below. Multiple purchases will be rewarded!
In addition to offering these selections from the Ulrich archive, we have a very special Demoneater proposal:The first patron to buy two of the available Demoneater Doors will get one more for free, and will get their portrait painted into the centeral quattrain panel of the The Reckoning.
