Peter Alexander's 1982 artwork 'Bumper' exemplifies Neo-expressionism through its bold, dynamic presentation. The piece is figurative in nature, capturing a vivid, tactile moment with raw emotion and intense color. Drawing inspiration from mythic and historical narratives—akin to the mystic figure Alexander of Abonoteichus—Alexander employs exaggerated forms and expressive brushwork that evoke a sense of myth and satire. 'Bumper' challenges traditional representations, embodying the vivid intensity characteristic of Neo-expressionism, and invites viewers into a world where myth, history, and personal symbolism coexist in a compelling visual dialogue.
