In the painting ‘Virtuosly Dancing Couple’ by Volker Boringer, we can find both expressionist and surrealist techniques, which is typical for the artist’s style. Addressing the theme of a modern city with its “machinery” rhythms, the painter reveals the infernal essence of his time. His characters are human-like, but they have lost their personalities and turned into jazz syncopes. The sharp drawing line and the poisonously bright color scheme strengthen the expressive perception significantly. Volker Boringer’s style was influenced by Otto Dix and Yves Tanguy.
