What we have here is a cacophony of particularly exuberant visual language: a semiotic wall of color, a freefall through the periodic table of image and aesthetic, meaning and non-meaning, figuration (typography) and abstraction. We discover a compelling synthesis… of found commercial graphics and imagery into contemplations of dynamics of color, form and abstraction. The willful inconsistencies of iconography and style, the sheer difficulty of figuring out what the work is about—nonsense, or no sense, in terms of struggle to fight meaning or to find it—are the artist’s primary concern.

« 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.
