“Wulf Treu does not fool around. His work is personal, brash, painterly, expressive and full of extraordinary energy… the act of painting serves as the catalyst for creating something new from something old is meant to make a statement about the conditions of society that he sees around him.”
Carol Damian, Curator,
The Frost Museum, Miami, Florida
“Who’s really in charge- the parent or the child, the government or the people, the giver or the taker, you or me? What I love about the work is the powerful sense that there is a kind of cold war still going on in Wulf Treu’s head. The work is warm, perverse, innocent, and dirty. It’s also very funny, even when it’s going for the jugular.”
Damien Whitmore, Head of Programs
Victoria & Albert Museum, London, England
“Wulf’s work is at once sublimely childlike while simultaneously being profound and illuminating. There is a sense of joy and discovery and a complex back-story that drives each individual piece. There are underlying common themes of recurring iconology throughout years of work, indicating a profound struggle of exploration as he continues on his way.
Working from his studio in an industrial Miami neighborhood, the artist continues to find his voice here in America, miles and years from his early roots in Germany. We are privileged to join him on the journey.”
Wolfgang Roth
