About Hans Uga
In 2017, Hans Uga painted the crumbling façade of Leipzig’s abandoned Schillerstraße tram depot, not with spray paint alone, but with hand-ground lapis lazuli mixed into acrylic medium, echoing Renaissance pigment recipes while tagging Baroque cherubs with neon-dripped halos. His breakthrough series 'Stadtgeister' (City Ghosts) didn’t just layer medieval marginalia over subway tunnels, it reverse-engineered 15th-century woodcut registration marks to align stencils across 37 municipal surfaces, creating parallax illusions visible only when viewed from specific tram stops at dawn. Unlike peers who quote Old Masters decoratively, Uga treats Dürer’s draftsmanship or Bosch’s symbolism as structural scaffolding: he rebuilds their compositional logic using aerosol viscosity, rust oxidation timelines, and municipal graffiti abatement schedules. His murals in Cologne’s Belgian Quarter include embedded QR codes that, when scanned, reveal archival audio of 1945 reconstruction workers, layering sonic history directly into the pigment matrix. This isn’t homage; it’s forensic dialogue across centuries, conducted in zinc white, Berlin black, and streetlight glare.
