Work The Namibian media branded Uli Aschenborn's new style Amazing Changing Art,Uli Aschenborn: Art from Namibia in Germany – Archive of the Namibiana BuchdepotBiography – Archive of the Namibiana Buchdepot because his new creations change – be it by themselves (video b) or because the viewer changes his position - or the painting is moved (videos a, c - i). For his chameleon-paintings, which change color and content if the angle of view is changed, he only needs sand and paint on his canvas. The changing shadow of Aschenborn's turning sculptures show metamorphoses, e.g. the aging of a boy to an old man eventually to a skeleton (video b). The images within his Morph-Cubes (video i) distort in a grotesque way while the onlooker moves.von admin (2008) Uli Aschenborn Stolberg, Kunstportal Eifel Because movement is an integral part of these art works they are Kinetic Art.
Uli's paintings are inspired by not only his roots in Namibia, but by European liveliness complemented by landscapes (video e and photo k) - also by abstract art.Matthias Mockler: Uli Aschenborns permanent exhibitions on Guestfarms in Namibia, 26.08.2011, original article: Allgemeine Zeitung – Archive of theNamibiana Buchdepot
