Peter Wever

Peter Wever is a German artist, living in Berlin. Wever is known for his color etchings dealing mainly with relationships. His work has warmth, and often a touch of humor. Embracing couples are a common theme, but sketches of a computer fanatic or two people at a cluttered breakfast table or almost submerged in a bath-tub are also among subjects he has portrayed.

“The aspects of the artistic life that are modern, lofty, engaged, contemporary, timeless or relentlessly repetitive do not thrill me. My fascination, when it comes to art, is the drama to be found in everyday things. An unspectacular life perceived through my own eyes and recorded in my own handwriting. This is what I try to capture in my work.
