Acrylic, acrylic based medium, ink, UV protection, oil, powdered pigments, resin, varnish, fabrics on pigment prints on canvas. The artwork comes ready to hang. When Peter Vahlefeld flips through a Sotheby’s or Christies’s catalogue, he often thinks he is just watching a visual abstraction of money—the sublimity of accumulated capital. Many cultural objects seem that way: evidence of the movement of money, declarations of power, and their role in the production of meaning. Peter Vahlefeld explores the circulation of art in our contemporary society, while infusing it with his own private perspective. Juxtaposing two independently conceived surfaces like paint and prints and making no attempt to convincingly blend these different elements, the painting is foremost the story of its own making. Dense layers of varnishes and patina-producing mediums yield obscure imagery that refuses easy legibility and instead seems to offer only foreboding portents fashioned from the wreckage of art historical representation.

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 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 and Asia. Peter Vahlefeld was featured on the German television channel ZDF. He currently lives in Berlin.
