For Ull Hohn, painting was far more than just an artistic medium - it was a field in which discourse, painterly techniques and personal reflections intertwined. At a time when painting was considered an exhausted medium in many places, Hohn initiated a renewal that emerged from the practice itself. In his works from the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hohn explored the connections between formal and political issues such as physicality and sexuality. He experimented with painterly forms of representation that moved between mass media appropriation and the tension between virtuosity and amateurism, opening up painting to self-questioning.
