About this artwork

Acrylic, acrylic based medium, archival varnish UV protection, oil, and pigmented Ultrachrome inkjet prints (collage) on canvas. The artwork comes ready to hang.
Peter Vahlefeld is exploring the possibilities of metallic paint, mixing the scintilatting pigments with quantities of color. In this artwork, sharp, taped-off edges imply two distinct layers, while also conjuring image reproduction of a luggage tag. Neither of these layers easily rest in… the foreground or background. Rather they weave together by the swirling addition of gold-copper-and-silver brushstrokes of varied weight. The play of brushstrokes, sinking or rising, succumbing to gravity or mysteriously released from gravity, is registered in its full force. Calibrating the weight of each color and tone, and creating space by varying the texture of the medium, the artwork has a distinctive quality of sculptural and architectural presence.

« 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.
