Peter Klasen, born in Lübeck on August 18, 1935, is a German painter, photographer and sculptor working on the theme of industry. From 1955, Peter Klasen began learning lithography and airbrush techniques. He entered the Berlin High School of Arts. This was then the avant-garde school and benefited from the presence of young teachers trained in the spirit of Bauhaus or German expressionism, such as Hann Trier, an important painter of the informal school. He took lessons from Will Grohmann, Hans Richter and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. In 1959, he arrived in Paris and, in 1960, set up in a workshop on rue de Clignancourt. From 1962, he was one of the founders of the new figuration. In this movement, which also took the name of narrative figuration, we find in particular Valerio Adami, Erró, Jacques Monory, Bernard Rancillac and Hervé Télémaque. His first personal exhibition was held in 1966, in Paris. In 1981, he visited New York. In 1985, Peter Klasen moved into an abandoned factory in Vincennes which he transformed into a home-workshop. In the 1980s, he executed a series of canvases which reproduced graffiti photographed on the Berlin Wall. In 1991, he created Shock Corridor/Dead End, an installation inspired by Samuel Fuller's film which evokes the concentration camp world more than the psychiatric one. In 1997, he adopted digital printing techniques to produce very large formats which evoke collages on which he affixes objects and neon lights. In 2009, he created a device inspired by Kafka's penal colony machine.
