In his seemingly exuberant ‘picture kitchen’, Ubbo Kügler maintains the overview. He can effortlessly enlarge the individual sheet showing its pictorial path, from the drawing pen to the brush. For a while he worked with conventional large formats, but for some years now he has been performing the enlargement process in single steps in which – full of relish - the fragments are ‘framed’ with scissors. The artist as the big kid. Freely, i.e. in a new way, he puts the past connections or relation together to form giant anarchic puzzles. These are expansive installations, flexibly reacting to the respective situations.
