Acrylic, acrylic based medium, archival varnish UV protection, oil, gold and silver pigments on pigment prints (collage) on canvas. The artwork comes ready to hang. Peter Vahlefeld creates hybrid paintings that question our complex and contradictory relationship with art and the art market, between art world and art industry. By playing with these layered themes – and troubling the distinction between the painted gesture and its replica in the form of pigment prints — layer upon layer of new information is added, each one traceable yet indecipherable. The artist undertakes a condensation of the overpaintings he did, where the printed matter and its glossy surface is understood as an outer shell or cipher of emotion. In his art, Vahlefeld layers allusions and meanings in the same way that he layers materials, and with the same underlying dynamic, too. Motifs are revealed only to be concealed. They are built up, layer by layer, only to be excavated, ravished, and undone.

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.
