This artwork traded hotel stationery for an exploration of the medium of painting itself. It is built up with cascades of fractured shapes of pure color that makes the painting feel subjective and spontaneous. Mixing powdered pigments like gold, copper and silver with oil paint and different varnishes, pigment prints and fabrics, the artist relinquished his controlled approach to painting, allowing the final result to be guided by the behavior of the given material. Binders oxidize the metallic pigments, resulting in a deep chrome effect of different shades of green. Information is added, deleted or overpainted. Acts of defacement, like urban demarcation and graffiti revealing flaws and cracks on the pictorial surface. Peter Vahlefeld takes obvious pleasure in fucking up the surface of his paintings, breaking the image as much as making it. Grids organize space: on an empty expanse they delimitate zones, impose a structure. Boundaries are traced and disrupted by other frontiers. Thresholds are malleable. The oscillation between creation and destruction convey an almost visible transience of time and transform the canvas into an immersive pictorial event.

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.
