“The paint beakers become my test tubes and canvases become my research notes.”

Sophie Ullrich’s highly anticipated solo exhibition, “All sauce, No shrimp” debuts a new collection of site-specific paintings and sculptures that entwines modern folklore and scientific inquiry at Piero Atchugarry Gallery. Enriched by her upbringing alongside her mother, a biologist specializing in diabetes research, Ullrich's childhood was immersed in laboratories brimming with the enchanting mystique of scientific instruments and apparatuses. From an early age she adeptly combined scientific research with her vivid imagination, often concocting her own interpretations of centrifuges, pipettes and glass flasks, laying the groundwork for her artistic approach. Renowned for infusing her paintings with a playful yet deeply personal visual lexicon, Ullrich delightfully illuminates her innate spirit of inquiry through fables.
