Pekka Persson is working in a broad field of techniques and expressions, with a scientific and loveable interest in art as a collective language of imagery. As a red line it can be characterized by juxtapositions, in the sense of a constant journey where one meets the unexpected and
ultimately becomes a product of incorporations. Acknowledging that everything is an ongoing process, and what was then, has now changed, accordingly he has began doing remakes of earlier work as part of his continous exploration.
      He began studying film at the University before going to different art schools ending with a MD at The National Art & Craft in Oslo, Norway 1989. Major Solo shows: Beauty Wounds The Heart (Henie Onstad Art Centre, Oslo 2005), Circulations (Lunds Konsthall, Sweden 2000 and Hå Gamle Prestegaard, Stavanger 2000), Big True Big Lie (Hordaland Kunstsenter 2004). He was awarded a first prize at Essen Art Film Festival (Germany 1994). At the moment he participates in a retrospective Norwegian video art 1990-2000 tour (ATOPIA). He has traveled extensively and studied many different cultures, and for several years been working and exhibiting within independent art communities in Norway, Sweden, Germany and Egypt. In 2009-10 Pekka Persson curated an artproject 30 Degrees, between Egypt and Norway at Gezira Art Centre, Cairo and International Culture Gallery, Oslo. In 2013 he moved to new surroundings. Lives and works outside Oslo.
