Waalkes, Otto (*1948 Emden) - "Die Gefährten", 2022, original mixed media on canvas, unique, signed lower right, approx. 60 x 70 cm, in frame box, frame dimensions approx. 67 x 76 cm, with certificate from Walentowski Galerien, Werl, Provenance: Private collection South Germany -Otto Waalkes, the East Frisian jack-of-all-trades, is not only a master of the humorous genre, but also a highly talented and established painter whose artworks are as whimsical and unmistakable as his stage performances, full of wit, self-irony and tongue-in-cheek messages, the present work presents in a very humorous way an uphill caravan procession of Otto's "companions", who played a significant role in his creative work: The silhouette-like procession is led by the magician Catweazle, followed by Otto himself in his typical bouncing pose, the funny sloth Sid from "Ice Age" and the round Ottifant, probably his best-known trademark, with the 7 dwarves riding behind on a horse with a very long back and Udo Lindenberg bringing up the rear in his characteristically casual rocker pose.
