P E T E R N E U C H S Born in 1958 in Århus, Denmark Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Peter Neuchs's œuvre is a contemporary interpretation of the Baroque aspiration to unite terrestrial and celestial, visible and invisible encompassing the temporal, the perishable and what pertains to eternity. His work is characterized by surfaces filled all-over. It is excessively stuffed with details, sensations, and feelings. The memento mori, a notion dear to Peter Neuchs, lies at the heart of his work : through a play on perception his blurry images interrogate our reality, our relation to matter, our existence as matter.
