About this artwork
This series of paintings is made in such a way that it accepts order only very reluctantly. The chaos of the pictorial process visible in each of the completed artworks is both real and apparent at the same time. It is real as a work and apparent as form. The dynamics, the impetuosity, and the dramatic force, all stem from this. Laying down medium-wide brushstrokes in close-valued colors of intensity and saturation, Peter Vahlefeld coalesces metallic…
pigments like gold and copper with all sorts of different water-based mediums, and varnishes and then contrasts these layers with thick oil paint from the tube. This play in the tension between pictorial surfaces and applied materials enables him to create simultaneously complex and straightforward layers of expressive abstractions.

« 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.
