The art of Peter Knoch

You don’t often see woodcuts like these by German artist Peter Knoch which combine a homoerotic quality with a jagged graphic style familiar from Expressionism. Some were for an AIDS-themed series for which a harsh visual treatment might be thought fitting although the first two here are from a separate series. Knoch’s work encompasses paintings, ceramics, detailed puppet environments, theatre design and graphic design. There’s more to see at his website, and at B-E-A-S-T. (Thanks to Callum for the tip!)
