Mario Urlaß

A walk in the inner garden

01.12.2004 - 31.12.2004

With a private preview for 140 guests at the Lauda FabrikGalerie, Lauda Managing Director Dr. Gerhard Wobser opened the exhibition "A walk in the inner garden (In den inneren Garten gehen)" of artwork by Prof. Mario Urlaß. The artist was presented by Norbert Gleich, chairman of the Kunstkreis Lauda-Königshofen (an art association). As in previous years, visitors were able to enjoy extraordinary sounds – an excellent programme of modern compositions by Frank Kroll from Böblingen, performed by soprano saxophone and bass clarinet, was a true musical highlight. Mario Urlass, born in 1966 in Zwickau became a member of his hometown’s Förderstudio für Malerei und Grafik (an association for the sponsorship of graphic arts) when he was only 14 years old. From 1982 to 1986, he studied at the Auerbach teacher’s seminary, where he taught from 1988 to 1992. During that time, he also studied art pedagogics at the University of Leipzig. In 2003, Urlaß became a tenued professor for art and didactics at the University of Heidelberg. Mario Urlaß’s motto is: "You need to master a form, before you can break it." His multi-faceted, slightly mysterious paintings are created in the course of a long process of constant re-evaluation and revision. As the human being evolves, form and content change as well. The works of Prof. Mario Urlaß are now adorning the walls of Thuringia’s Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs and Saxony’s judicial building and Ministry of Arts and Sciences. Banks in Zwickau and Greiz have also been purchasing Urlaß paintings. A selection of his works entitled "Inner Garden (Innerer Garten)" can be seen until January 31, 2005, at the LAUDA FabrikGalerie during regular business hours.
