Hans Ulrich "Uli" Aschenborn (born 6 September 1947 in Johannesburg, South Africa) is a Southern African animal painter.
[3] The changing shadow of Aschenborn's turning sculptures[5][10] 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.
Uli's paintings are inspired by not only his roots in Namibia, but by European liveliness complemented by landscapes (video e and photo k)[13] - also by abstract art.
[14][12] The “Ensad Alumni Paris”, of the “l'Association des anciens élèves de l'École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs” (i. e. the Alumni Association of the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris) has appointed Uli Aschenborn honorary member in 2018.
