About

Per Petri is an artist, writer and architect. The studio perpetri does art projects and has recently resumed the practice of writing as well. per petri working fields are focused on large and small art decorating projects (wall paintings), singular artworks and series of artworks and to some extend graphic art and design for products, communication and artistic corporate identity. Many projects are done in close collaboration with a specific client. The client can be a private person, a company, a public institution, a manufacturer. In regard to writing Per Petri is currently working simultaneously on several novels, heaven forbid, all of which marking a rebellion against what we Northerners are rounded off.

Although reasonably deep and reflective perpetri tends to go for the unpretending, informal, straightforward, humorous. with a kind of coolness attached to it. You might say a feeling of air and lightweight. per petri does art projects where developing the very concept itself is equally important to the artistic expression and style.

perpetri, or more correctly Per Petri, has for his artistic and architecture-related work, received the Danish National Art Foundation's work scholarship and travel scholarship 2012 and at the latest the Danish National Art Foundation’s Dristighedspris (The Boldness Prize) 2021.

and now in Danish:

Per Petri er forfatter, billedkunstner og arkitekt. Han bliver måske bedre og bedre med alderen - som om han trods alt er ved at nærme sig noget væsentligt. Virksomheden per petri er tyvstartet i slutningen af 2006, som en konsekvens af at manden Per Petri blev ved med at falde i svime over regn i Basel, overbelyste blå kyststrækninger, tankstationer hen under aften og andre kunstnerisk-sanselige anliggender.

Virksomheden perpetri er seriøst og uformelt, en kombination af næsten mondænt design office og simpelt garage-atelier-galleri. Slet mondænt. perpetri har herudover, som privatpersonen Per Petri, i 2014 for alvor genoptaget sit litterære arbejde. hvorfor der i øjeblikket arbejdes på flere romanprojekter samtidigt.

perpetri producerer reflekterende poetiske værker. Per Petri tænker konceptuelt og går samtidigt efter det helt enkelt umiddelbare. I mange opgaver den skæve naive halvfjollede vinkel mikset med modernistisk gennemsigtig lethed og cool minimalisme, på en slags bund af europæisk melankoli.

perpetri er netop nu i gang med kunstværker, udsmykninger, forelæsninger og bogprojekter.

perpetri har grundlæggende 2 ansatte: Per Petri og hans tjekkiske assistent Vera Svetlakova. Det er et godt team hvis ikke det var for, at det sidste er lyv. perpetri har én ansat og det er Per Petri, det med Vera er bare noget Per finder på. Per Petri har på et tidspunkt overvejet at omdøbe virksomhedens navn til Per & Petri, som var der to indehavere, to partnere, og deraf følgende mere pingpong end når man kun er en - eller to, hvis man alligevel tæller Vera Svetlakova med.

perpetri, eller helt korrekt Per Petri, har blandt udmærkelser modtaget Statens Kunstfonds arbejdslegat samt rejselegat 2012 samt senest Statens Kunstfonds Dristighedspris 2021.
