Karl-Peter Penke | DCLIX - They Deserve a Brevet, 2020
Etching
Media Dimensions: 26 x 24 cm
Image Dimensions: 12 x 10 cm
Edition of 40
Framed/unframed
Karl-Peter Penke is a multi-disciplinary artist with a drawing background and a fondness for intaglio printmaking. He has recently completed a large and Homeric-like body of work – Sausage, Dogs & Schadenfreude (Don’t Lose Your Head) – consisting of 1,001 etchings. This playful epic is sourced from observations of day-to-day human interaction, pulped with our nagging historical baggage, filtered, and regurgitated as individual pictorial vignettes. They stand either alone, in clusters or as a whole. The project has won three awards to date: the Sheila Sloss Award (Printmakers’ Council, 2017), the Thames Side Studio Prize (from Thames-Side Print Studio, at the WCPF in 2019), and the Signature Art Prize (competition finalist, 2021). Penke studied at Camberwell, the Royal Drawing School and the Royal College of Art. When he’s not working in his east London studio, he teaches printmaking at the University for the Creative Arts and RCA. His work can be found in collections across Europe, including the V&A.
