Neo Rauch

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.

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
