Markus Oehlen
German · b. 1956

Markus Oehlen shares a closely related gestural and abstract approach using mixed media on canvas, combining bold mark making with layered paint applications that mirror the experimental energy found in this piece.

Martin Kippenberger
German · b. 1953

Kippenberger worked within the same German Neo Expressionist milieu as Oehlen, producing bold and irreverent abstract and figurative canvases that blend gestural brushwork with unconventional materials and a similarly inventive compositional spirit.

Christopher Wool
American · b. 1955

Wool's paintings similarly incorporate spray enamel and multiple media on canvas with strong gestural abstraction, and his layered compositions combining mechanical and hand applied marks closely parallel the technique and visual complexity seen in this Oehlen work.
