Peter Ravn

To draw is a way of comprehending 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 craftsmanship 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.
