About this artwork
Acrylic, acrylic based medium, archival varnish UV protection, oil, pigments, fabrics on pigment prints on canvas. The artwork comes ready to hang.
This artwork integrates an array of references, sourced from magazines as well as museum shops. The painting’s layers, individual and combined, are printed and overpainted to introduce new and ever-expanding opportunities for compositions to emerge. The brand of painting is volatile, marked by abstraction… of painterly brushwork and gesture; the entanglement of mark-making, oil paint and pigments, can assume an almost overwhelming effect. Light and pigment permeate the material, further complicating perceptions of flatness and volume on the canvas. Different varnishes as a means of producing visual effects, demonstrate a striking pivot in how qualities of light, presence, and substance are expressed.

« 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.
