Musical sparks create an inferno of blazing colors and intense motion in German painter Alfred Gockel’s “Full Swing” series. Fascinated by bright colors since childhood, Gockel’s first artwork was published in a German magazine when he was only 8 years old. Later, he studied graphic design, typography and advertising at Munster’s Polytechnic Academy, and then lectured there while freelancing, before becoming a full-time artist in 1981. Founding his own art publishing company in 1983, his signature style of brilliant colors and masterful composition has garnered him acclaim in more than 50 countries worldwide.
