Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Celebrated for his unflinching depictions of industrial alienation within East Germany, Neo Rauch is a painter whose works reflect the style of the Socialist Realism that sprung from Communism; such works as Signal and Gold portray scenes of labour and activity in which the figures that are depicted do not necessarily match the era that is being conveyed.

« For me, painting means the continuation of dreaming by other means. »
Neo Rauch

Largely influenced by the works of Rene Magritte and Giorgio de Chirico, Rauch employs a contrasting palette of acidic, bright colour alongside ominious, darker hues to create an environment that is full of uncertainty and doubt.

« When I paint, I do not thinks, and instead I surrender myself completely to my feelings and to what the canvas demands of me. »
Neo Rauch

Of his politically charged works, Rauch has commented that he views himself as ‘a kind of peristaltic filtration system in the river of time’ - whereas fellow German artists such as Polke and Richter chose to leave Germany, Rauch stayed and his works depict this, often incorporating village scenes and propaganda posters.
