About The Artwork
Acrylic, acrylic based medium, archival varnish UV protection, laquers, oil, on Aludibond. The artwork comes ready to hang. 2 parts Diptychon shipped in 2 crates. Peter Vahlefeld draws on the raw energy of expropriating commercial printed matter by ripping art magazines apart when crafting his mixed media works. For this series he has mined an ad of Louis Vuitton (Die Kunst des Reisens) which he has painted over. The overpainted ad has then been digitized and reworked on the computer, before it has been blown up as pigment print, foil-clad onto an Aluminium Dibond plate. Rendering the three-dimensional overpainting as a two-dimensional photographic background, it has been partly overpainted again, to conceal the preceding original. With thickly applied oils, lacquer and different mediums, the artwork establishes a complex relationship between paint and the digitalized image of it. Because of the print on Aludibond, and its glossy surface (UV protection), the artwork seems like a photographic representation of an abstract painting. The artwork leaves the convention of the flat image carrier behind and occupies space that can be experienced sculpturally, while striking cracks and ruptures traverse the smooth and almost polished-seeming surface.

Germany
Peter Vahlefeld's visceral artworks combine a rigorous, process-based practice, continually rethinking the possibilities of painting. Using references to a broad array of sources, including art history, literature, and pop culture, he creates paintings that alternate between flat experience and dimensionality. Perfectly poised between European and American traditions (Art Informel, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art), his work combines complexity into a visual richness that is neither figurative nor abstract. The paintings unfold in an intricate, unpredictable interaction of layers and excess—a constant juggling of paint, prints, fabrics, mediums and effect. They draw their actuality from the collision between the visual codes of mass media and the subjective traces of painterly expression. Peter Vahlefeld studied at Parsons School of Design, NYC (BFA) and currently lives in Berlin. He has participated in a variety of solo exhibitions, art fairs, and venues such as Neumeister Fine Art Auctioneers (Munich), and Sotheby's (Vienna). His work can be found in private and corporate collections throughout Europe, the United States, Asia, and India. Peter Vahlefeld was featured on the German television channel ZDF.
