Oxidized pigments (gold, copper), water-based medium, oil and pigmented inkjet prints (collage) on canvas An over-painted auction advertising of Basquiat serves as the basis of this composition. The brush mark, set as an independent element within the painting, makes a reference to debates concerning its expression and meanings—which is nothing else than a never ending painting over of the subject. The choice and use of colors is complex too. It’s a palette of glaring gold, copper and pink but also a warm white. The color constantly challenges the viewer's eye through the oxidization of all their different facets, their shading, and the juxtaposition of different hues, and undertones. Defiling the gold leaf surface with materiality of paint, the artwork capitalises on the rich and luxurious quality of auction advertisements to draw connotations to beauty and the grotesque.

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.
