'Squirt' by Peter Alexander (1982) exemplifies his exploration of Neo-expressionism through a figurative lens. The painting features bold, dynamic forms with vivid colors, capturing a sense of spontaneity and emotional intensity characteristic of Alexander’s style. The work's exaggerated, almost cartoonish figures invite viewers to interpret the scene with personal or symbolic meanings, reflecting a departure from traditional abstraction. Alexander’s use of thick, textured brushstrokes and vivid imagery underscores the visceral nature of the piece, making it a compelling example of how Neo-expressionism emphasizes raw, expressive power.
