Description
Primordial Guardian: Minimalist Mythological Bull
This striking charcoal artwork captures the essence of ancient mythology through the distinctive Neo-Expressionist lens of A.R. Penck. A powerful bull figure emerges from primitive, bold lines and simplified forms, rendered in warm sepia tones that evoke contemplative stillness. The deliberate minimalism allows the symbolic power of the mythological creature to speak through gestural marks and raw expression.
“Myth is much more important and true than history.” – Joseph Campbell

Technique: Executed in charcoal technique inspired by Penck’s distinctive mark-making, featuring bold, confident strokes and primitive symbolism. The rawness of charcoal creates texture and depth while maintaining an elemental quality.
Color Palette: Warm sepia tones create a timeless, contemplative atmosphere reminiscent of ancient cave paintings while complementing Mid-Century Modern aesthetics with their earthy simplicity.
Subject Matter: Drawing from mythology, the bull represents primal strength and fertility across ancient cultures. This archetypal creature is reimagined through Penck’s symbolic vocabulary of simplified forms and primitive figures.
