Paintings by Dresden-born A. R. Penck will be shown at the Julius Werner Gallery in Berlin from February 23 to March 27. The exhibition titled "The Eighties" consists of paintings with neo-primitivist images of human figures and totemic forms. He is among many of the neo-expressionists who were watched over by the secret police during the Communist regime in former East Germany. He is a lover of jazz, plays the drum and was a member of the group "Triple Trip Touch." His sculptures, which are less known than his paintings, should be seen as well; they possessed similar primitive theme.
