Peter Wever a German artist, living in Berlin, is known for his colour etchings dealing mainly with relationships. His work has warmth, and often a touch of humour. 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. Peter Wever's dynamic art is an interesting mix of printmaking and paint. The starting point for each work is a drypoint etching, which layouts the basic image. He then paints over the entire surface, so that each print in the edition is unique, with the colours, and even the gender of the people in the print changing from one example to the other. What doesn't change is the dynamic tension and energy of the composition.
