About this artwork
Acrylic, acrylic based medium, archival varnish UV protection, oil, pigment prints (collage) on canvas.
Poised between abstraction and figuration (language as a mode of representation), the painting is built up layer-by-layer and its sensuous surface is stirred up and set into motion by sweeping brushstrokes or interspersed with swirls and outbursts of color. Initial layers are almost completely obscured by subsequent ones, with oil paint methodically… used both to inscribe grids and preserve areas of interest, as well as bare canvas, as the composition evolves. Despite the controlled character of this process, thickly applied patches of paint resist control and tend to override demarcations inscribed by masking tape. The whole social fabric of our society ( a receipt from the Bar Hemingway at the Ritz Hotel, Paris) is used as a point of departure and becomes reanimated and supercharged.
« In my work, I deal with pictures that already exist and liberate them from their originally intended narration and function. »
Starting from the symbols of our society - an increasingly psychologically scrutinized communication through text and images - Peter Vahlefeld breaks up the context of such familiar obviousness with artistic means and incorporates it into his painting. Some motifs mutate into completely abstract color spaces, while other pictures still reveal objective details such as typography or figurative elements. In his overpaintings he thus stages a dialectical relationship between the visible and the hidden and thus a beautiful game of hiding and revealing. His examination is focused on the expressive gesture of the medium, the process of painting and the exhaustion of a formal and content-related motif. His painting is painting about painting. Peter Vahlefeld has participated in many solo exhibitions in Germany as well as in annual art fairs such as Art Karlsruhe.
