Neo Rauch is a young german artist born in Leipzig. his work is shaped by the experience of growing up in east Germany and it swings between surrealism and popular romantic imagery. his paintings are usually full of historical figures repeating sisyphean tasks in ambiguous landscape. with spots of acidic colors contrasting with deep shadows, Rauch's paintings create an atmosphere of confused nostalgia and failed utopias.i saw his exhibition 'para' (prefix of paranormal, parallel, paradox and so on) at the Metropolitan Museum in New York in 2007.
