All Fired Up. Alfred Gockel.
Alfred “Alex” Gockel has been a favorite among Park West collectors from the moment his signature action artworks were added to the Park West Gallery Collection. People gravitate to Gockel’s work because of his brilliant use of color and the graceful motion of his figures.

Gockel has become one of the most prolific distributors of modern art posters in the world. Some estimates put sales at over 10 million worldwide, and his works can be seen in design studios, private collections, and corporate businesses worldwide.

Gockel Quotes
“Often in my paintings I use elements that reflect my challenging past, when as a boy I worked in the coal mines. But my purpose is to express my joy in life, and to show that we can overcome many obstacles through the expressions of life's beauties.”

“Art both influences culture and imitates it. I am influenced by the colors, symbols, textures, fibers and designs used by different cultures around the world.”
