Ursula Goldau (born May 12, 1950 in Leutesdorf ) is a German painter and installation artist in Offenbach am Main and Leutesdorf am Rhein.

life and work

After starting her artistic career in the studio of the sculptor Guta von Freydorf-Stephanow , she studied painting from 1968 to 1974 at the Düsseldorf Art Academy (Bonn branch). At the same time she studied art history in Bonn and received her doctorate in 1975, supported by a grant from the Fritz Thyssen Foundation . After further scientific research (1980–1982 scholarship from the German Research Foundation ), she decided to work as an artist.

Her basic theme is the relationship between color and line, which can already be seen in her early works: linear drawings have a painterly effect, paintings have a graphic effect. Since 1982 she lived in Schleswig, where she co-founded and directed the Schleswig-Holstein artist house Selk (Schleswig) and passed it on to Eckernförde in 1994. In the Schleswig-Holstein Künstlerhaus Eckernförde there are still work opportunities for artists thanks to the state grants that she has acquired. From 1995 installations and actions such as "Birds Flow" in New York, "Rheingoldau" 2008, "Baumverdichtung" Geysirprojekt 5, in 2009 in the gallery in Fronhof, Leutesdorf and in 2010 on the banks of the Main in Offenbach, as well as there in the town hall in 2011 (together with Michaela Haas), who reflect on the question of artificiality and nature and aim to call on citizens to participate in political and artistic cooperation in public space. The artist Ursula Goldau has lived and worked in Andernach and Leutesdorf on numerous projects since 2016 .
