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 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.
