About this artwork
Acrylic, acrylic based medium, UV protection, varnish, oil, gold and copper pigments, pigment prints (collage) on printed canvas. The artwork comes ready to hang.
In this series raw powdered pigments are mixed into resin, which Peter Vahlefeld pours with both intensity and control. While the resin hardens, he augments the composition with oil paint and more unconventional materials such as pigment prints. The organic qualities of the paintings are… enhanced by the use of powdered pigments like gold, and copper, translating the grit of postwar abstraction into the techno-exuberance of today. Paint, prints, medium, matt and glossy varnishes intertwine, revealing his conviction that painting can capture pure, condensed energy of the society around him.

« 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.
