Violent paintings of business men in suits?

Back in the early 90s, I worked with an attorney who introduced me to the work of an artist who (at least at that time) was creating paintings that depicted businessmen in suits in violent scenes.

The two I remember clearly were (1) two men in dark blue suits fistfighting... one guy had the other by the tie and they were pummeling each other, and (2) a man hanging by his necktie, as if by a noose.

I can't remember the artist's name, so I'm hoping someone can help me. I know if I hear the correct name, I'll know it. As I recall, his wasn't a common surname.

I could easily be mistaken, but I seem to recall the artist's name being something like Borko or Boiko or Bierko or something along those lines.

Can anyone help me with this one?

    I don't recollect seeing a painting of business men fighting, but check out Fernando Botero, he at least incorporated men in business suits in his images. He has a very distinct style, so would be easy enough to recognize on paintings different from the ones you are looking for. Your recollection of the name would also kind of fit.
