The 1980s marked a turning point in Muehl's work. He abandoned performance art and found a new outlet for his socially critical imagery in painting. With fierce, wild, impasto brushstrokes and a dominant red tone, a face and a body emerge from the almost abstract explosion of colour. An example of his expressive late phase, beyond action art.
