Alfred Gockel

Alfred Alexander Gockel was born in 1952 in Ludinghausen, North-Rine Westphalia. Fascinated early on by the magic of color on paper, Gockel's talent and enthusiasm lead to the publication of his first art work when he was eight years old. Educated in the areas of typography and graphic design at Polytechnic in Munster, where he graduated in 1977, Gockel worked in the advertising industry for many years. During this time, he also lectured at his alma mater in his specialized fields. Wishing to devote more time to his artwork, he established the art publishing firm of Avant Art in 1983. Gockel's compositions are marked by the bright colors and graceful motion of his characters and are trimmed with powerful black figures and accents, which fade together to create an individual image for each viewer. Inspired by society, Gockel's work can be divided into two major categories: unique art work, mostly oil on canvas, and graphics. However, as a premier artist, his work ranges from etching to serigraphy to aquarells, with his graphic design background most evident in his bold and colorful abstracts.
