Peter Feiler’s exhibition will include pencil, crayon and ink drawings and paintings. The artist focuses on nothing less than the downfall of mankind. The inclination to experiment and the many layers revealed in his works open them to many interpretations that do have one conclusion in common: the rottenness of men will eventually lead them into their own doom. The plethora of miscellaneous subjects, ranging from elaborate new universes to the depiction of orgiastic self destruction and on to a casual criticism of today’s highly intellectualized egomania which he raises like a whirlwind in his pictures, all centre on the main theme: the abysses in human existence.

Under the spell of rich details and bright colors, the spectator is lulled into a false sense of security only to then be hit by the full extent of the brutality of the human soul’s very darkest side. Peter Feiler’s grotesqueries cover the precarious subject of “what men can do to each other” (Peter Feiler), with a childishly innocent patina standing in harsh contrast to repelling and nevertheless fascinating details. His protagonists’ salacious, almost pornographic poses, scenes of abuse, rape, torture, adultery, are merely alluded at times, at times pointed out in blatant explicitness. “I am not a missionary”, Peter Feiler says, “I don’t want to change people. But maybe I can make them discover something good with their repulsion of my provocations.”
