When I talk about painting, I mean any process of creation, be it the creation of tableaux and paintings, of music or be it the process of writing.
Whenever I create something, I do paint.
As soon as I think, I realize that I dont have the faintest idea of anything.
When I paint, though, I know it all! Everything!
This is the way I approach to the inaccessible.
It is the approach to something that is hidden somewhere there.
When I paint, I neither think about nor contemplate it.
In other words: I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance while thinking.
Thats why I paint.
Peter Piek, 19 February 2006
Peter Piek is a German painter, author, and songwriter.
(mt/tg) Peter Piek did not exist between 2001 and 2006 this is what his self-written biography tells us. There used to be several Peters. Split into multiple partial personalities? as he remarks it laconically. He abandonded this state in 2006 when he reunited the remaining partial personalities. During this time he was studying Fine Art and Painting, when founded the artist group Malfront, wrote two books about his vision of painting. His quintessence: Painting just starts primarily with painting! Critics get rather complicated when they talk about Peter Piek as painter, using words like Being, the Physically compound consistency of the canvas and the rhythmic breathing which is synthesised into an interwoven interaction. One stereotype is not enough. In Biel (Switzerland) however, Peter Piek performes at a concert, since he is actually a songwriter and multi-instrument player, as well. He may have merged his partial personalities into one, but for artists like Peter Piek one art form is not enough for him to articulate. Therefore, his 'Say Yes To Peter Piek' tour stops on Thursday at AJZ Gaskessel in Biel. If you try describe Peter Piek's music, you might classify it as Independent Rock, although it would hardly fit as this is not quite correct. The term Pop would not come close to his ambition for art, as his Songs are too ecclectic and complex. Peter Piek's voice is unusual. He sings in a high pitch, but not in head voice. It sounds similiar to Neil Young and Sigur Ros. The shows are always intensive, though. In front of a full club, the nearly 6.5 feet frontman Peter Piek screams out his love to life, throws himself with his guitar in sheer ecstasy to the ground using distorted chords to sob his weltschmerz through the sound system. Piek's archetypes must be Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Pearl Jam, and the Smashing Pumpkins. Featuring his band the Colours, Peter Piek is an artist who tries to merge painting and music. His band is named The Colours and a fan wrote about his last album 'Say Hello To Peter Piek' 'Everybody who knows his paintings thinks: They are like music. Contrariwuse, you could suppose his music is like colourful paintings. There's a colourful evening waiting on us in Biel. It remains to hope that Peter Piek still continues unifying his partial personalities.
