Julius Bockelt’s work engages with phenomena from nature and physics. From his intense observations, he develops methods to capture processes that are usually ephemeral and to retrace them within his artistic practice. He draws vibrations, makes soap bubbles durable, and photographs cloud formations. The origin of his artistic practice lies in music—more precisely, in the superimposition of sounds and the interferences that arise from them.
The solo exhibition “Blaues Rauschen” [Blue Noise] brings together this cosmos of artistic production in a concentrated presentation of drawings, cloud studies, soap bubbles, and sound. Between the groups of works, resonant spaces unfold around an overarching idea—a narrative about perception, transience, and the search for knowledge.
A member of the renowned Goldstein workshop in Germany, this young artist is fascinated by the limits of perception. In his work, sounds, vibrations, waves and interferences are made visible. Bringing together observation and poetry, network structures emerge and create striking optical illusions. Exhibited in a gallery for the first time in 2020, Julius Bockelt has already been offered a monographic exhibition at the Folkwang Museum in Essen and has been presented at the Museum of Everything (London), the Maison rouge (Paris) and the MoNa in Brierdale (Australia). In 2023, he was exhibited alongside Gerhard Richter at the Museum Sainclair-Haus in Germany.
