Art critic Kaire Nurk Estonia:
“Per William Petersen has consciously undertaken a deeply intriguing
experiment on the scale of his own life: to exchange an environment filled
with clearly defined patterns of memory for an environment that is completely
open to unexpected situations.
Per William Petersen’s works always make you do a double take, something
that has always been touched with sensitivity in people and their nature.
That is why the works collected in this volume also act as a journey into the
human soul, which is full of surprises and emotions.”
Art-journalist Danica Novgorodoff,
New York:
Wickedly humorous and absolutely original, Per William Petersen's waggish portraits depict buxom damsels and plump-featured fellows whose physiques and faces seem to be composed of sleek synthetics or bright inflatables.
With a sculptural sensibility and a distinctive Pop Art sheen, Petersens' characters are both delightful and obtuse, doing what they do with a blithe unconcern for who may be watching or how they may appear. Impish and colorful, Petersen's works are lighthearted narratives and unexpected portraits that reveal his interest in the strangeness of everyday life as shaped by interconnected coincidences.
"To paint is to tell stories," he says. "I paint because I am curious to see all those stories that are hidden behind the surface. I am removing the surface, turning the stone."
