Peter Leuhof

Leuhof works with ‘home made’ planed wood flakes. These are painted, dried, cut to size and then rhythmically assembled on canvas. Abstract, geometric constructivism. In this way he honors the craftsmanship and elevates the worthless (from a scrap of wood) to a meaningful second life. This method also touches on themes such as recycling, sustainability and ecological awareness. His work is timelessly soothing and harmonically arranged. He adds an extra dimension and makes his FlakeArts’ powerful, controversial statements with sometimes (consciously) vulnerable imperfections. As life is. He originally comes from the advertising, design & branding world, where he spent decades designing campaigns, concepts, house styles and themes in text and images for many (inter)national organizations. His free work is a logical continuation of the unstoppable urge to create and his deep preference for a distinctive approach with real, authentic and original use of materials.
