Peter de Graaff | “Het blijft groeien, gaan heer Senefelder”

Visual artist Peter de Graaff (1961) was born in Utrecht and works in Amsterdam. He has an impressive oeuvre to his name with an equally impressive number of exhibitions. He describes himself as a painter “tout court”.

“The space melts together with the drawing of the interior into an almost monochrome image. There are accents of green. After all, it keeps growing. The open and the closed door are connected by the magenta pouring surface. You enter and leave again, feeling the spirit of someone present. Wasn’t Mr. Senefelder the one who discovered this wonderful technique?”, the artist said.
