Peter KLASEN (1935) - Lot 244
Peter KLASEN (1935) Corrosive - Harmful - Fragile, 1994 Mixed media on board, signed and dated lower right and titled lower left 64 x 50 cm PROVENANCE Galerie Gastaud, 5-7 rue du Terrail, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand then Important French private collection NOTICE Peter Klasen, a German artist associated with the Nouvelle Figuration movement, is renowned for his work exploring themes of industrialization, technology and alienation in contemporary society. Using techniques of painting, collage and photography, Klasen creates powerful, visually arresting compositions, blending elements of signage, industrial objects and fragments of the human body. His style, characterized by cold realism and often vivid, contrasting colors, draws attention to the signs of danger, protection and control that punctuate urban and industrial environments. His works address issues such as dehumanization and the omnipresence of technology, with images of grids, pipes, pressure gauges and safety signs evoking a technical and impersonal universe. By creating unexpected juxtapositions and fragmenting his subjects, Klasen prompts the viewer to question the relationship between humans and machines, between the body and industrial space. Close to movements such as pop art, and inspired by artists such as Eduardo Arroyo and Gérard Schlosser for their critical approach to society, Peter Klasen is today a major figure in contemporary art. His works, exhibited internationally, are prized for their ability to transform everyday symbols into powerful visual reflections on modernity and technological society.
