Brush drawing oil on ploter paper, 76 x 48 cm © Peter RadelfingerFocus ardst : Peter Radelfinger, born in 1953Others ardsts exhibited on the booth: Thomas Oh, Karoline SchreiberPrices of the works: from 800 € to 10 000 €Since the 1980’s Peter Radelfinger has concentrated almost exclusively on the medium of drawing and the value of this medium today with regard to the great variety of media now available. Using extremely simple means, Radelfinger manages to consistently create drawings full of allusions that interweave extremely dissimilar subjects together in a wihy and enigmadc way. Without accusing or moralising he highlights contemporary issues, which are at dmes unpleasant or fraught with conflict.The fundamental issues of the condidons of percepdon and the reflecdons on the essence of drawing are present in all his works. Through his incisive use of both new digital technologies and tradidonal means, Radelfinger plays an important part in the further development of the medium of drawing, therefore making an excidng contribudon to contemporary art producdon.His works have been exhibited in many museums and galleries, among others in the Münchner Stadtmuseum (München); Overbeck-­‐Gesellschag, Lübeck; Gallery Basta, Hamburg; Kunstsalon Wilde Gans, Berlin; Atelier Frankfurt, Frankfurt a. Mainz; Kunstverein Galeriehaus, Nürnberg; Art Museum Berne; Art Museum Aarau; Musée Rath, Geneva; Kunsthalle Winterthur.Presse mappe I Seite 77
