About this artwork
Acrylic, acrylic based medium, archival varnish UV protection, oil, metallic pigments like gold and copper, pigment prints (collage) on canvas.
Beginning each painting, Peter Vahlefeld seeks to create a subtle but visually engaging base, which serves as a foil to the next layers of prints and paint. Fast-paced strokes are offset with steady washes and the consistency of paint is varied; thin translucent areas are complemented by thick opaque mark… making. Inherent to the creative process is the element of painting over, rubbing out and erasing previous markings, where oil paint and metallic pigments like gold and copper have been dragged, pulled, splashed, and splattered across the canvas. At times buttery and fully suspended, at others sand-paper dry, the richly textured ground never stands on its own but is always in conversation with the overpainted surface of a museum poster.

« 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.
