Soosaar, celebrates its 18th anniversary this year with the subtitle

.../ Brighter gems
Although the concept of this exhibition as a whole is not among the
most convincing, there are several works which shine, transcending the
naked body and the allusions to electricity violently adhered
thereto./
.../The topic of gender roles has been tackled by the Danish artist
William Petersen, whose cubist paintings play with mixing the feminine
and the masculine. The woman with the king's crown and shovel and the
breasted military leader clearly address the issues of power in the
patriarchal world./

Per William Petersen's exhibition "Truth is Stretchy"
Per William Petersen's exhibition "Truth is Stretchy"
in Tartu Centre of Creative Industries until 28 March.
Per William Petersen studied art in The Danish Design School. He
earned his first diploma as silversmith, the second as graphic artist
(1985). In 2006 he came to live in Tartu and immediately actively
incorporated himself into Estonian art life. In his ninth local
personal exhibition "Truth is Stretchy", displayed now in Tartu Centre
of Creative Industries (at Kalevi 13), the thematically and
stylistically diverse author has chosen to showcase his portraits and
figure paintings. Although the works hang in the entrance hall and the
cafeteria, they seem to encompass the entire building, imposing their
energy also on the small gallery, which presently hosts the exhibition
of Marin Ploomipuu.
Per William Petersen has cleverly exploited the peculiarity of the
rooms. The display in the cafe comprises portraits that were made on
the 2003 trip to Portugal, featuring different races, types and
characters. The point of this selection was to expand the
multicultural grasp of the cafe, the owner being American, his chef
wife Romanian, and the trainee German. Sitting on a cozy couch, one is
surrounded by the monumentality and power of the southern faces from
all four sides. The peculiar and exciting countenances of those
portrayed have been further underlined by the artist's powerful
graphic line, complemented by the decoration and tranquil rhythm of
the whole composition. The effect of the line is in turn supported by
the mainly red-blue colouring. The author has mixed the oil colour
with crushed seashells, roughening the paint surface and thus making
the portraits even more earthy and archetypal.
The portraits and figure paintings from the Estonian period
demonstrate the artist's searching spirit and diverse approach to the
model, so that each work of art forms a world of its own, and placing
them sparsely along the hall is vital. The treatment mode has become
more nuanced, now foregrounding the individuality of the model, now
the social role and relations. The author has employed various
attributes, elements of syrrealism and pop. Among the pillars of the
artist's creation lies the strong realist painting school with good
drawing skills, perfectly represented in the syrrealist-ironic "Paris
Steam". The Tartu art scene has been enriched by an interesting
portrait artist./
