Patrick Painter Inc. proudly presents work by A.R. Penck,
September 11th through October 16th, 2006.

A.R. Penck is a renowned contemporary artist with numerous international museum and gallery exhibitions to his credit. His work has been seen the biennials at Venice and São Paulo and Documenta V, VI, and IX. A.R. Penck’s bronze sculptures were recently the subject of a catalogue raisonné and retrospective exhibition touring across Europe.

Recent paintings by A.R. Penck address the relations between individuals and society, and the political and social structures that control them. Comprised of brusquely rendered abstract and representational images, the expressive and often primitive appearance of Penck’s pictorial language belies the paintings’ deeply conceptual underpinnings.

Building on ideas first advanced in his important “Standart” works of the early 1970’s, Penck continues to present a pictorial system which serves as both a direct means of communication and a commentary on contemporary information systems.
