About The Artwork

Acrylic, acrylic based medium, archival varnish UV protection, oil, and archival pigment prints (collage) on canvas. The artwork comes ready to hang. Central to Peter Vahlefeld’s practice is his modulation of paint with a variety of mediums, including oil and acrylic paint, pigments and pigment prints, resulting in visceral, thickly impastoed surface. The painting is not an emulation of a modern masterwork, but an overpainting of a marketing campaign, advertising a Picasso as an investment. He doesn’t believe a painting can ever be truly abstract, and that tension excites him. To him, abstraction means that the material and process are essential to the schematics of the artwork. Using bold brushstrokes and collage effects, he explores the interplay of color and texture to evoke an emotional response.

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.
