Ralf Peters
Keen Insight
September 12 - November 15, 2014
A Catalogue and a new edition is available.
Ralf Peters was born 1960 in Luneburg.
He studied art at the University for Fine Arts in Braunschweig, at the Ecole
des Beaux Arts in Nîmes and at the Academy for Fine Arts in Munich. He lives and works in Hamburg.
On the occasion of the start of the galleries season in Frankfurt we are introducing KEEN INSIGHT, the new series
of works by Ralf Peters.
In the large sized landscape images of this series the artist is testing
our visual perception. For the first time in Ralf Peter\u2019s pictures every single
detail is equally sharp. There is no differentiation between the different
levels in the picture or a focussing on a core area. The smallest dewy hair of
a corn poppy bud is shown in the same resolution as the distant huge tree in
the background. This innovative way of representing seems transcendental and
appears strange to us because there is one thing it tells the beholder: Every
detail either in the foreground or in the background is equally ranked. The
artist\u2019s message is not only related to nature and the problem of its
representation, but also closely reflects the political structures of our time.
It\u2019s about the observer standing in front of a variety of informations,
institutions and problems, lots of details, which he has to face, paralyzed,
unable to change. The structures are both levelled weather it is the small corn
puppy or the huge tree. Regardless which, either city council or federal
government takes care of it: All are dealing the same way with the political
crises and so there is, as in the picture, no differentiation anywhere.
Differentiation is not taking place because there is no difference anymore
wherever things are happening \u2013 everything is equally important.
In contrast to that are the other works of Ralf Peters shown, entitled
Balloon, Kite and Prince. These works are about to cross the barrier to kitsch:
dreamworlds, figments of the imagination and idealized landscapes in the most
luminous colours. The pictures have a different meaning and a different message
as they have in KEEN INSIGHT. The artist is presenting an illusory world,
whereto the viewer can escape instead of dealing with the hard reality.
In his series Night / Colours Ralf Peters is again showing another
facet. Here it is a real time intervention that takes place on the spot. The
recorded image remains untouched. At night, during the exposure time the artist
is illuminating the subject with a hand torch. The depicted subject seems to
glow while the rest of the picture is covered in the black colour of the night.
Because of this technique the work becomes a painterly aspect.
On the occasion of the season start weekend of the Frankfurt
galleries, we will be open on September, 13th and 14th 2014, 11am-6pm.
