Ulrich Görtz sculptor's work is unique, his Repertoire includes the roles of people and animals in a special way. Whether it's slim and slender Design, which remind a bit of Wilhelm lehmbruck, whether it be squat, round, whether of animals or objects, the artist is also one of his "characters", must have you, so Görtz, a "good architecture". To fit this description, the "associated-Built, Fixed, Eternal", that the free-standing sculptures are always invested in all-round view. You are, the viewer is going on around you. The figures are completed, they rest – they are. The craftsmanship is precise slowness of the work, the works of Ulrich Görtz a convincing credibility. Working in a public space located in Erkelenz, Alsdorf and the Federal office of administration in Cologne, as well as in the collections of the Bode Museum in Berlin.
