Peter Ravn
Published by Aftryk, February 1, 2021.
200 pages, with texts in Danish and English by Merete Sanderhoff, Jørgen Leth and Camilla Stockmann.

Drawing is a way of understanding the world. Peter Ravn has drawn since boyhood and in his artistic practice he continues aiming his eye at the world, pursuing to penetrate moments of doubt, aggression and chaos, but also tenderness. Ravn masters the canvas, controlling colour and composition with an ease of craftmanship reminiscent of a calligrapher’s accumulated skill, or the ability of a pianist to add that extra something that cannot be written down, but is of crucial importance. The beauty – the obvious beauty existing within the inherent demands of the craft – arises as a consequence of this trained skill.
With this publication, the reader is presented with a curated review of Peter Ravn’s pictorial work over the past 10 years.

The book contains texts in Danish and English by Merete Sanderhoff, Jørgen Leth and Camilla Stockmann.
