Watercolour and creativity – lecture with Petter Askergren
This event has passed
info
Petter Askergren, better known as the musician "Petter", is one of the most famous artists on the Swedish hip-hop scene. What many of us do not know is that in the last 10 years he has resumed the watercolour painting that he previously devoted himself to for a long time. During the late 90s, Petter studied art history at Uppsala University and was going to apply for art school the same year as he got his record deal. While his career as a musician continued, Petter painted watercolours sporadically. During this lecture, Petter talks about growing up with watercolour painting as an important part of everyday life and how the medium affects his music making today.
As an watercolour artist, Petter is active in Åre, the Koster Islands, Stockholm and Piedmont, among other places. These are recurring in many of Petter's motifs. In September 2022, Petter's 15th album was released, for which he has painted all the artwork around the record and the singles.
