Vincent Pfäfflin is a German-American artist and stand-up comedian. Growing up in the USA and now living in Berlin, he is shaped by an outside view of German society. He became known for his laconic stage programs and appearances on TV Total, NightWash and as the winner of the RTL Comedy Grand Prix. In addition to his comedy, Pfäfflin also creates visual art – often in the field of tension between street art, pop culture and personal reflection. Between 2012 and 2015, he was active as a street Art_Künstler under the pseudonym ‘Peter Pink’ – with temporary installations, interventions in urban space and paintings, some of which were published internationally in magazines and online.

The exhibition shows Vincent Pfäfflin’s visual works beyond the stage – independent works between street art, comics and pop aesthetics. In his paintings, reduced lines, two-dimensional colouring and pointed lettering come together. Pfäfflin uses graphic means from the world of comics to get to the heart of everyday moments, absurdities and emotional miniatures. His works are often reminiscent of urban interventions: quickly thrown, but closely observed. In terms of content, the works oscillate between wit and melancholy, between laconic commentary and quiet irritation. They provide insight into fragmented thinking – spontaneous, sharp, sometimes almost casual, but never arbitrary. The works seem like frozen thought bubbles in public space, humorous and at the same time deeply anchored in the now.
