Dark scenes are revealed on the unconventional
coloured pencil or ink drawings and paintings of the young Berlin artist
Peter Feiler. Composed of single narrative factors and plots, whole world
vision of atrocities that men can do to each other, surging from a
claustrophobic constriction unfold through his delicate hatchings. In the
negative, the abysmal, in perversion, Peter Feiler seeks the floating
borders between the visible world and that of thought and imagination.
The latent aggression in the protagonists’ gestures and mimics is put into
perspective by the works’ mellow colours and fragile execution, luring the
viewers into their worlds and lulling them in false safety only to hit them
with the full impact of the brutality that resides in the very darkest
places of the human soul: abuse, violation, torture and child rape,
sometimes merely alluded, sometimes in blatant obviousness.
