Acrylic, acrylic based medium, archival varnish UV protection, oil, pigments, and pigment prints (collage) on canvas. The artwork comes ready to hang. Peter Vahlefeld’s use of thick, heavily applied paint, pigments, and rapid brushstrokes suggest a struggle with the material. The pigments respond to the mimetic representation of a flower image advertising a museum shop item by the MoMA, New York. Mobilizing artistic strategies such as intuitive mark-making, erasure, and layering as tools of negation and transgression, the painting is done in a spirit of vigorous, vehement urgency. Combining graphic signs and typography with freer brushstrokes, the canvas acts like an exercise in working out all the possibilities of adjusting it, adding to it, concealing it, revealing it, destroying it as well as repairing it. Colors overlap and permeate each other. The pigments glimmer and flicker like immaterial phenomena of light. Each stroke has its own temperament, exaggerated, shy or hesitant, playful. Brusquely, colors push one another aside, placidly giving each other space. The colors are far too independent to subordinate themselves under any structure.

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.
