Peter Rolsted's practise
Peter Rolsted deals with memories and nostalgia, both the good and the bad. Typically, the subjects are far from the big city and often draw inspiration from Peter's upbringing in a small village on the island of Funen.
Peter Rolsted is a second-year student at the Jutland Art Academy.
A professional recognition and a financial boost
Awarding the KP Prize and Audience Award is an initiative coming from KP's Board, and with support by Aarhuus Stiftstidende's Foundation has been made possible a long nurtured desire to upskill talent care in connection with KP.
Winning one of the prizes has meant a professional recognition and financial boost. For as everyone knows, it is the artist who, in principle, bears both expense and risk when creating art works.
KP Prize and Audience Award are donated by Aarhuus Stiftstidendes Foundation and awarded as travelgrants
