Peter Valentiner
Peter Valentiner (* 1941 in Copenhagen ) is a French painter.
Today he lives in Paris and Cologne . After attending the École supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Tours , he did his military service in Germany. He then traveled to Spain (Madrid and Toledo) and met the Argentine painter Alberto Greco in Madrid , where he became a student and assistant. In 1971 he moved to Paris and was the first prize winner of the 7th Art Biennale for Young People and received a scholarship from the Musée Rodin in Paris.
His painting develops from the interplay of the viewer's perception and the art of camouflage. First he was known as a Land Art artist in France. He used huge military camouflage nets to hide well-known buildings, bridges and roads, for example in Céret or Perpignan in the Pyrenees . At the same time he deals with the art of camouflage in painting and develops a technique of controlled chance in order to depict the complexity of the sensory impressions.
His works are in the Center Pompidou and numerous public and private collections. In 1988 he created the Hohenbusch Summer Art Academy in Erkelenz together with Christine Hahn, Tübingen.
