Annely Juda

Peter Kalkhof came to maturity as an artist in the 1960s. His body of work since then has been expansive and diverse yet thematically unified. He has used colour as well as a range of geometric and other drawn forms as means to produce paintings and installations rich in metaphor and allusion. He uses unitary forms and repeats shapes and colour, creating contrasts by positioning several uniform, bright colours against exquisite graduations of tones.

This exhibition of Peter Kalkhof's work is his ninth at Annely Juda Fine Art and shows twenty-five recent works, mostly paintings but also works on paper and a floor installation. The works shown concentrate primarily on the relationship between the Circle and the Square, the relationship from Centre to Periphery.

The exhibition includes a work, Colour-Space-Texture, consisting of 18 vertical panels of which each panel has its own character with many of them employing various textures and materials such as egg boxes or CDs. However, the work maintains a sense of integration that mirrors the unity of the body of works in the exhibition.
