Peter-Wilhelm Klasen is a German painter, photographer and sculptor, born in Lübeck in 1935.
Klasen grew up in a family sensitive to the arts. He started drawing and paining at a very young age. He learnt the techniques of lithography and the airbrushing.
Industrial themes mark his work. one can discover in his paintings elements such as pressure gauges, metal locks, tarpaulin sheets for trucks and cars, hoses for hydraulic circuits. Logos, numbers and pictures from magazines or posters are also present in his paintings.
A master of contrast, he is fascinated by the hostility of the modern city and by the representations of the body as merchandise.
He has recently started to produce prints, adding to its diversity. We can discover the artist’s interest in our society in his aquagravures. Industrial themes, body image, objects of consumption, advertisements etc — they all meet in his works that becomes a critical reflection of our social environment.
