Oxidized pigments (aluminium, copper, gold, iron), water-based medium, oil, fabrics on pigment prints (collage) on canvas. The artwork comes ready to hang. In this lush and textural painting the image (a Louis Vuitton advertisement) is literally buried with oil paint under the surface as different varnishes become thicker and more complex, trapping metallic pigments like gold, silver and copper. The use of different varnishes and UV coatings, together with oil paint, absorb, reflect and diffuse light and enhances the capacity of the surface, creating a depth of pictorial space. This working process is about continuous re-assembly, re-organisation and re-construction of the overpainted image, zigzagging between creation, ruin and epiphany. Calibrating the weight of each color and tone, and creating space by varying the texture of his medium, Peter Vahlefeld conjures depth from almost nothing.

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.
