Peter Vahlefeld is interested in investigating the tangibility of printed matter with iconographically-charged motifs—he counteracts them because they are meant to be understood as a code. If you want to make a point about the meaninglessness of an image, you have to find a strong image to challenge it. Thin… pages of art magazines and their advertisements are covered with oil paint, then digitized, reworked on the computer, blown up and printed out to be mounted on canvas. The pigment prints are then covered with paint again and parts of it are sanded into abstract veils, exposing hints of the underlying printed matter. This way Peter Vahlefeld keeps our curiosity alive while he manages to produce almost entirely new objects that recharge the existing ones.

Peter Vahlefeld
Germany
« 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.
