Blaue Blasen auf Türkis
2007
Jiri Georg Dokoupil
Painting
139 x 203 cm
Acrylic and soap bubbles on canvas
© Adagp, Paris, 2009
Compulsively eclectic in his desire to experiment with the largest possible variety of motifs and styles, Jiri Georg Dokoupil deftly and unashamedly mixes genres. Witness the reworking of Action Painting in this Soap Bubbles on Turquoise—midway between the ancient tradition of Turkish-style paper marbling and Pollockian coloured lacework.

Jiri Georg Dokoupil
Germany
Born in 1954
Born in Krnov, the former Czechoslovakia.
Lives and works in Berlin, Madrid, Prague, Sao Paolo and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
From his early dabblings in “violent painting” as cofounder, together with Walter Dahn, of the German neo-Expressionist group Mülheimer Freiheit, which sent shock waves through the art scene in the 1980s, Jiri Georg Dokoupil has retained a certain sense of punk provocation. Iconoclastic and impossible to categorize, the former neo-Fauve has since revisited all the icons of
modern visual culture: Surrealism, kitsch, Expressionism, Pop Art, advertising and even rock music.
