Peter Rademacher

Artist Peter Rademacher uses a wide variety of different tools, including pencil, chalk, paint and charcoal, yet what is consistent throughout his work is that the dynamic of human relationships thrives so vividly on his canvases. The shadows that fall on the human body, the lines created by the turning of limbs and torso, the drama of point of view — these are Peter's subjects and the means by which his art describes the depths and heights of human experience. He has said that he often relies upon spontaneous compositions arising out of the work process, like a rhythm or melody come forth out of improvisation. He follows his imagination's lead uncensored, regardless of the subject, with the important thing being that his imagery lives in dynamic balance with all its constituent elements.

In all of Peter's work, whatever the tools he uses, this relationship to his inner creative process is clear, for his work is always alive and in the moment.
