Neo Botanica by Ulf Saupe at Space Gallery St Barth

"Neo Botanica" by Ulf Saupe
27 February - 27 March 2025

@Space Gallery St Barth

Carré D'Or
Gustavia, St Barthélemy, FWI  97133

Ulf Saupe doesn’t always know what his final pieces will look like. Each time a new work is born, Saupe engages in a beautiful dance with the elements he uses, the photographs he takes, and the alchemy that occurs when the two come together. Known for his meticulous approach to photography and innovative use of analog processes, Saupe's artistry invites viewers to explore the complex relationship between society and the natural world. 

For Saupe, the process of crafting each artwork is as significant as the elements captured within it. Everything is considered and carefully selected. The artist chooses the subject matter, the materials and the creative method intentionally, making sure all are intricately linked to the message and theme of the work. Drawing inspiration from 19th-century photographic techniques, Saupe explores unconventional processes that allow him to incorporate unusual materials and reimagine the possibilities of photography. The exploration of our contemporary environment and its complex relationship with nature is central to his work, while shedding light on the themes of environmental concern and the transformation of natural landscapes. 

Saupe’s exhibit opens in late February at Space Gallery in the Carré D’Or in Gustavia, where you can experience his thought - provoking works, which are visually stunning and simultaneously seek to remind us to be environmentally conscious. The art not only challenges perceptions but also sparks dialogue about our relationship with the natural world.
