Peter Foeller was born in 1945 and grew up in Königsbach. He studied at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Pforzheim and the Hochschule der Künste Berlin. Since then, his work has been exhibited worldwide. He is therefore regarded as one of Germany’s most successful artists. It is not easy to describe Foeller’s artistic language. Art experts also disagree about precisely how to classify his work. The artist resists all hasty attempts at cataloguing and rejects being pigeonholed. His work has one essential characteristic: a recurring leitmotif that art experts describe as the synthetic principles governing the creation of aesthetic order and disorder. Foeller’s lifelong motto is to shape diametrically opposed pairs of opposites, for which there are many symbolic names: the clearly structured constructive mind versus the force of primordial nature, intellect versus emotion, reason versus mysticism, logic versus illogicality, consciousness versus the unconscious. He treats paintings as opposites, juxtaposing geometric and amorphous forms, sharp edges and murky nebulae, steadfastness and fluid splashes, rigidity and extraordinary vitality.
