More; Considered as the western Master of the New Ink Art Movement, a pioneering force in the New Ink movement (Aesthetica Magazine No. 90 /York, UK/). His contributions to this movement are well recorded and have helped promote a once-isolated style exclusively practiced in the far east, to western culture. Krupa is best known for his “modern ink paintings” of unruly compositions that feature a diverse array of subjects spanning nudes, landscapes, and motifs inspired by Japanese wood-carvers (Hypeblast Art). Lui Shou-kwan /(1919-1975), credited with founding the New Ink Painting Movement/ and his followers (up to the present times) reinterprets Chinese ink art in the form of Western modernism. Krupa is doing something essentially opposite/different from Shou-kwan and his group, he reinterprets Western modernism in the form of Chinese ink art (District Artisan /Miami, USA/). Alfred Freddy Krupa, the creator of the New Ink Art Manifesto, is considered the pivotal figure in the Western New Ink Art movement. Inspired by the ink practice of Japan, where he used to live, Krupa uses dense black ink to create tense, raw and direct art that reflects his minimalist approach (New Ink Art Movement: The Rising Popularity of Contemporary Ink Painting Art Acacia, San Francisco, USA/).
