Artist Bio: Alfred Gockel (b. 1952) was born in Lüdinghausen, near Münster, in Germany's coal country, and had his first artwork published at the age of eight. At sixteen he went to work in the mines, hundreds of meters underground, before beginning his studies at the Polytechnic in Münster in 1973. In 1983 he founded his own publishing house, Avant Art, through which his posters, art cards and prints became widely known in Germany and across Europe.
Gockel's paintings are bold, energetic abstractions that draw on Cubism and gestural painting, built from vivid color, black line and layered texture. He works across painting, printmaking and sculpture, and his public projects include two of the last unpainted panels of the Berlin Wall, painted in 2009 for the twentieth anniversary of German reunification, and a large Cor-ten steel sculpture of angels carrying a yellow rescue helicopter, installed in 2011 where the A1 and A2 autobahns meet near Kamen. "Red River Sunset" is a limited edition giclee on canvas, signed and numbered by the artist.
