Peter Klasen started drawing and paining at a very young age. He learns the techniques of lithography and the airbrushing.

A master of contrast, he is fascinated by the hostility of the modern city and by the representations of the body as merchandise.

Peter Klasen has recently started to produce prints, and thus the new figuration or the narrative figuration have entered the Lacan collection, adding to its diversity.
