Statement: After many years of abstract work, Barbara Peyer changed her interest to figurative paintings. In this new work she takes special care in the use of colors. She paints in a nearly medieval technique with self-made ground chalk, egg tempera and thin layers of oil color, most of them also self-made, to bring more brilliance to the colors. Barbara Peyer likes to tell stories. Stories coming from her travel experiences, of human situations in common. She paints persons, animals and things in a dream-like atmosphere. The stories are ambiguous and give to the spectator the freedom of his own interpretation.

| The thing about Barbara Peyer's work is that it
satisfies my longing for magic and also for the real and solid parts of
life. She manages to do this with her good, stout people who often stand
very quietly but all the while there is something dreamlike going on in
the corner or up in the sky. Why is that woman floating? Do pigs really
graze among flowers? And why is that bird there while no one seems to
notice? And also, how can these people be so serious, they, who wear fantastically
colorful clothes? I could dream one of Barbara Peyer's paintings, and
I would wake up in the morning feeling quite wonderful. Susie
