Like slender flames, the figures in German artist Alfred Gockel’s “Dancers” series seem to flicker and twitch to their own mysterious rhythm. The graceful motion and bright colors of this work typify Gockel’s art, which was first published when he was 8 years old. His trademark style of dark lines undulating through bright colors was honed by studies in graphic design, typography and advertising. Gockel became a full-time painter 22 years ago, and formed his own world-renowned art publishing company in 1983. His creativity ranges from etchings to serigraphy, and has been featured in the porcelain, carpet and sportswear industries.
