Peter Gilles
In the artist's words:
Peter Gilles was born in Cologne in 1953 and died there in 2017. Beginning in the late 1970s, he developed an artistic practice that closely intertwined painting, drawing, objects, and performance. In this process, his own body became the central medium, and his own blood a material of extraordinary immediacy. Using it, he created large-scale autoanthropometric works and pieces in which physical experience, emotional tension, and artistic conception intertwine in a radical way.
