Marc Sparfel brings a concentrated sculpture world to Ulm with Intermezzo
The Gallery at Saumarkt will show Marc Sparfel's exhibition Intermezzo from June 12 to June 27, 2026 – a position where wood, form, and spatial tension merge into a precise artistic experience. The artist, born in 1972 in Brittany and now living in Barcelona, has been working for years on his own material-conscious visual language between figurative memory and abstract construction.
Sculptures between myth, animal form, and construction
Sparfel's work moves from observation of nature to the condensation of form. Masks, animals, and mythological beings emerge from wood scraps, later also geometric and abstract shapes. This development lends the exhibition a special atmosphere: organic, archaic, yet contemporary. Those who engage with the work recognize in the surfaces, edges, and voids not only material but also movement, memory, and transformation.
A space for silent intensity
The BEGE galleries in the old town of Ulm have been a fixed place for contemporary art since 1984, hosting several exhibitions of important artists each year. The Gallery at Saumarkt offers a concentrated framework where sculpture is not merely exhibited but experienced in relation to space. Especially in Sparfel's works, lines, volumes, and shadows unfold a quiet power that continually redirects the gaze.
Art historical classification with contemporary reference
Intermezzo can be read as a reflection on material culture, form finding, and plastic condensation. Sparfel's journey from visual communication to sculpture connects drawing, photography, art history, and craftsmanship precision. His works recall the great tradition of sculpture but remain unmistakably contemporary in their openness. Thus, the exhibition appeals to collectors, art enthusiasts, and visitors seeking an aesthetic experience beyond the ordinary.
Visit, view, and encounter
The exhibition is free to access and invites a decelerated observation of the works. Those who take their time will discover a dense succession of forms that lead from the everyday into a poetic order. Intermezzo promises no loud appearance but a clear, lasting encounter with contemporary sculpture.
Conclusion: Marc Sparfel's Intermezzo is a worthwhile exhibition for all who wish to experience material, space, and form with an attentive eye. A visit to the Gallery at Saumarkt is worth it as an inspiring cultural encounter in Ulm and as a direct artistic experience on-site.
