Categories Paintings under $20,000 Expressionism Abstract

This painting is shaped by treating the material without respect, using destruction as a principle, sometimes playfully, while simultaneously building up energy in the picture. The artwork proceeds utilizing improvisation.

Painting is about the surface tension of different media: canvas, fabrics, paint, and prints approach materiality as a surface condition. The surface (an overpainted weather chart by the Ritz Hotel, Paris) is configured as an architecture to be dismantled. Start somewhere, put it down, then move it somewhere else.

On the one hand, Peter Vahlefeld plays with the notion of information loss. On the other, he adds a process that disrupts that reveals flaws and cracks on the pictorial surface, which is sanded down to a bare canvas.

This working process is about continuous re-assembly, re-organization, and re-construction of the image, dodging between creation, ruin, and epiphany using oils and metallic pigments like gold, copper, and rust.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Peter Vahlefeld

Germany

Peter Vahlefeld is a contemporary award-winning multimedia artist based in Berlin. The whole social fabric of our society is used as a point of departure for abstraction. He creates his works on the foundation of art marketing materials such as auction house or museum promotional flyers or posters. On this structure, the picture is built up layer by layer using various colors and materials. Painting pigments, as well as a variety of other materials like photo fragments and textiles, give Vahlefeld works their distinct color, tone, and structure. Finally, the images can be classified as startling, exhilarating, colorful, dynamic, rugged, or tactile, owing to their contrasts between analogue and digital painting, the compatibility of many color materials, and elements of production and destruction.

Peter Vahlefeld was born in 1967, in Tokyo, Japan. He graduated from the Parsons School of Design, New York. He has participated in many solo exhibitions and art fairs like art Karlsruhe in Germany on a regular basis or at auctions such as Sotheby’s in Vienna and Neumeister, Munich. Peter Vahlefeld currently lives and works in Berlin.
