By experimenting with gesture, pigments like gold, silver, copper, aluminium, and iron mixed with water-based mediums are the starting point for this series. The obliteration of the motive by gigantic brushstrokes as a performative process of dragging, scraping, combing, raking and squeegeeing paint, pigments, and mediums across the surfaces are the subject matter of the paintings. The background remains saturated through grooves made by smaller brushstrokes until the canvas picks up textures, gestures and happenstance along the way. The light hides itself in the crevices of silver and gold, sculpted by the line of the brush and the oxidization of the pigments. This palimpsest is anchored with swatches of paint overlaid with pigment prints and fabrics, overpainted again and sealed with UV coating. Source images of overpainted printed matter provide a catalyst to delve into what is hidden and what is seen.

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.
