Press preview on Thursday, 4 June 2026 at 11 am Turku Art Museum (Aurakatu 26)
\nOpening on Thursday, 4 June 2026 at 5\u20137 pm
\n<\/u><\/strong>The exhibition will be inaugurated by <\/strong>Ambassador Harald Aspelund, Embassy of Iceland and director Ingibj\u00f6rg J\u00f3hannsd\u00f3ttir, National Gallery of Iceland. <\/strong>The artist is present on both occasions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the heart of Eggert P\u00e9tursson\u2019s (b. 1956) art lies the Arctic flora. Drawing on an intimate knowledge of Iceland\u2019s plant life and volcanic landscapes, the artist invents compositions that are both botanically precise and phantasmagorical, earthly and otherworldly. Attuned to the scale of the tundra\u2019s resilient flowers, mosses, and lichens, P\u00e9tursson opens entire universes in his paintings.<\/p>\n

The exhibition title Millefleurs<\/em> celebrates the abundance of floral splendor in P\u00e9tursson\u2019s paintings, in nature, and in the decorative styles of art history. P\u00e9tursson\u2019s works range from meticulously realistic depictions of plants, repeated like seemingly endless patterns on a canvas, to almost abstract compositions, where layered paint creates relief-like surfaces. His art is both timely and timeless: it resonates with contemporary ecological and posthumanist themes while his visually striking compositions connect to abstraction, formalism, and conceptual art.<\/p>\n

Devoted to his subject since childhood and deeply rooted in local traditions, P\u00e9tursson is one of Iceland\u2019s most beloved artists. The exhibition focuses primarily on works produced over the past 15 years, many of which haven\u2019t been seen before in Finland. Of the 29 paintings on display, 25 are on loan from Icelandic private collections, while the remainder come from the collections of the National Gallery of Iceland, EMMA \u2013 Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Sara Hild\u00e9n Art Museum, and Turku Art Museum. The exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue presenting P\u00e9tursson\u2019s work. It also features the documentary film Just Like a Painting by Eggert P\u00e9tursson<\/em> (2020), directed by Gunnlaugur \u00de\u00f3r P\u00e1lsson<\/strong>, which offers an intimate look at P\u00e9tursson\u2019s artistic practice in dialogue with the Icelandic landscape.<\/p>\n

Eggert P\u00e9tursson: Millefleurs<\/em> has been produced in collaboration with the artist, Turku Art Museum, the National Gallery of Iceland, and i8 Gallery, and is curated by Selina Kiiskinen, Pari Stave,<\/strong> and Kari Immonen<\/strong>. After Turku, the exhibition will travel to the National Gallery of Iceland, where it will be on view from 7 November 2026 to 14 February 2027.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is supported by the Finnish Heritage Agency.<\/p>\n

Eggert P\u00e9tursson<\/strong> (b. 1956) lives and works in Reykjav\u00edk. He studied at the Icelandic College of Art and Crafts in Reykjav\u00edk from 1976 to 1979 and at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, the Netherlands, graduating in 1981. Although P\u00e9tursson is known for his distinctive way of depicting Icelandic flora, his artistic background lies in the Fluxus movement and conceptual art that dominated the 1960s and 1970s. He has had solo exhibitions in for instance the Living Art Museum, Reykjav\u00edk Art Museum, Hafnarborg, Nordatlantens Brygge, and Pori Art Museum. P\u00e9tursson has also illustrated \u00c1g\u00fast H. Bjarnason\u2019s<\/strong> popular book on Icelandic flora, first published in 1983.<\/p>\n
