Artist Books Books and Book Objects are an important part in my artistic work. I am writing texts and poetry as long as I can think and amassed an impressive collection of notebooks, journals and artist books over 50 years. TO SEE MORE, PLEASE CLICK BELOW:
Progression: Leaving the Past Behind is another ongoing project. I started it 2024 in preparation to my art show participation with Ponte Cultura e.V. in Nuremberg, Germany. The idea was pretty simple: Old discarded canvases from my business that were stored for a long time and had no other used anymore, were painted over with white gesso and then arranged in an assemblage of canvases. Mediums used were acrylic paints and pens. The idea was, in connection to the Ubuntu project the same year, to see each panel as a family of individuals that gets through connecting circles or or …
23 years ago in May I was invited by MSP to spend a glorious month at their fabulous printmaking Studio. Between working all day, two lectures and preparing for an exhibition there at a later date, I fell in love with Vancouver. Granville Island felt like heaven on Earth. This visit changed my life. It was one of the most creative residencies I ever did, and Vancouver made a very deep impression on me. Even though I didn’t know it then yet, I was back in Vancouver a year later and started to plan AION art gallery with my Canadian …
Meine Liebe zu Brasilien See the English Translation further down. This is a text, I wrote for the BRAZIL CHINA PROJECT with fellow German artist Heike Hahn 2020 Sommer 1993 – das Telefon klingelte, Marianne Stüve, Vorsitzende der Ponte Cultura e. V. fragte, ob ich Interesse hätte im nächsten Jahr bei zwei Ausstellungen in Brasilien teilzunehmen. Ich überlegte eine Sekunde und sagte zu. Unsere Gruppe bestand aus fünf Künstlerinnen, neben Marianne Stüve, Annette Blocher (die später doch nicht mitkommen konnte), Renate Gehrcke, Carola Dewor und mir. Erst stand ein 3-wöchiger Portugiesisch-Crashkurs auf dem Plan. Ende März 1994 saßen wir dann …
I moved back into my studio on 2nd Avenue and Boundary. Just 100 meters into Burnaby. Another upstairs studio. Close to my business and the wonderful people that make it run so smoothly. It is a pleasure to be so close to the art of my friends and my own art. I feel at home in this south facing place. It is spacious. Not exciting as the boatyard was, but I am entering a new phase in my work as well. And it is a more contemplative work. So the quietness that I have there results in concentrated work. Literally. …
From 2022-2024 in May I had the great pleasure to work at a wonderful studio overlooking the “Barn”, a place where yachts and smaller boats are repaired on the Granville Island Boat Yard. I am leaving this inspiring place with a heavy heart, but will be still present on the Island at Malaspina Printmakers Society, also on Duranleau Street, where I will go back to one of my old passions, printmaking. This lovely video was shot and created there 2023 by artist friends Berenice Freedome and Frank Lee. Many thanks to them!
Exhibition September 2024 | Gemeinschaftshaus Langwasser | Nürnberg | Germany What an incredible task our life is… We are born naked and die disguised. In between we hope to find ourselves. How is it, that we are born so pure, innocent and maskless, and spend so many years hiding who we really are. When do people start to bend and disguise themselves, to mask themselves and, above all, why. In my art, I have traced the (disguised) tortured creatures from the very beginning and, with my characteristic ruthless openness, I have revealed my own truth little by little, bit by …
A ShoutoutLA Interview In February I was approached by a lifestyle magazine from LA with the question whether I was interested to do an interview with them. Since my last interview was quite some time ago, I decided to do it. I realized that I am way more passionate about my business than I thought I am. Here you can read a short report of my long entrepreneurial way with AION from 2003 to 2024. See the full article here: https://shoutoutla.com/meet-stefani-peter-visual-artist-entrepreneur/ unfortunately the website is often updating content and so the article is sometimes not available. So I made my …
