More work from A.R. Penck (Ralf Winkler) seen at the Art Basel Hong Kong which I liked.
The primitive cave paintings at Lascaux are often considered by art historians as the beginning of art, and in many ways Penck’s stick figures and his flat and pictographic symbols resemble that of the past as well. In some ways they remind me of the drawings by Keith Haring, but obviously Penck came from a completely different line.
It looks almost like an artefact justifying the “ancient aliens” theory by many ufologists, but of course it was painted rather recently. It is fantastic though.

Born Ralf Winkler in Dresden, Germany in 1939, A.R. Penck is the pseudonym for the artist, a name he used as he attempted to go under the radar to exhibit his artworks for the international audience while being actively pursued by the East Germany communist regime. His relationship with Galerie Michael Werner is significant, as it was this gallery where Penck would have his first public one-man show in 1969.
Penck’s paintings are known by its flat and pictographic imagery of human figures seen in Egyptian hieroglyphs—what the critics called “neo-primitivist”—and other totemic forms. His early works suggest influence from Picasso, but having been turned down by academies in Dresden and East Berlin in his academic years, his work is different than those with more formal attitudes.
Besides art, Penck also has his love for jazz music. A keen drummer, he took every opportunity to play with the best jazz musicians of the late 1980s. His love for music has obvious influence, as his paintings also often feature lively improvisation of forms and compositions.
A.R. Penck lives and works in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Dublin and New York.

A series of sculptures using ink, silkscreen, spray paint and enamel on wood with painted aluminum base seen at Michael Werner at Art Basel Hong Kong recently.
These works are not really my cup of tea—but it might have to do with the fact that they are placed against such an overwhelming wall of psychedelic paint.
Individally I do like the pieces, which appear out of the cubist paintings of Picasso, with the medium referencing that of street art. But in this installation view the peripherals stand to distract more so than to add.
Thoughts?
