biography

Schulz studied sculpture at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg under Gustav Seitz from 1961 to 1966 , then in 1966/67 with a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service at the Royal College of Art in London.

One focus of his complete works were sculptural works by the end of the 1970s. He created large objects and sculptures from various materials. He achieved international fame in the 1970s with his “tire objects” (“Geländecouch”), which he later took up and cited thematically, for example in the “Bicycle objects” from the 1990s. From 1980 painting gained importance in his work. It emerged paintings , gouaches , collages , charcoal and chalk drawings, silkscreens and woodcuts . His painting always remained attached to the representational, but was characterized by a spontaneous and expressive brushstroke . All of his works, sculptural as well as painterly, have a humorous conception and effect.
