February - 11 March 2012 For some years I have investigated
consumer products as images of our time that tell a story about
our culture. For Global Village 2012 I have
investigated a global product, the beloved Nutella and created
a work that binds us all together in this global village that we
call the world. Additionally I have studied consumer
products in 10xtheir size in the shape of 3D objects /
carton sculpture. By using the collage and mixed media I
have interpreted the famous Maggi cube and a margarine
package. “Magic Maggi”
“My Margarine”

January 2012
The Affordable Art Fair is the leading showcase in the UK for contemporary art under £4,000. The Fair was launched in London in 1999 and now takes place biannually in London and New York; annually in Bristol, Amsterdam, Brussels, Milan, Singapore; and affiliate fairs include Sydney and Melbourne. The fair provides an opportunity to discover both emerging talent and to pick up affordable works by celebrated artists. When Will Ramsay founded the fair in 1999 his aim was to make contemporary art accessible to everyone, and to show you don’t need to be an art expert or a millionaire to enjoy and buy art. GX Gallery will exhibit some of my
works at their stand L14 at this years Spring fair in Battersea from
15 - 18 March. Visit the fair website for more information.

CONSUMER ART - ALKMAAR, HOLLAND - september 2011  From 2 September - 2 October I’m in
the show “Consumer Art” at Projekt 072, Alkmaar in
Holland. It is a very large exhibition, showing
more than 30 foreign and Dutch artists, including Danish Bjørn
Eriksen and myself.
The exhibition which is curated by
Jeroen van Paassen will show the many facets of Consumer Art
including video, installations, paintings and spectacular
objects.
Additionally, one can experience "La
Cuisine Macabre" - a very strange meal, and many musical
performances.
That evening is also "Art of the Night"
/ Night of Culture in Alkmaar, so it is going to be a blast of an
opening!
 A very happy curator, Jeroen van Paassen (left) visiting Bjørn

THE JEALOUS CURATOR IS JEALOUS - april 2011
The Canadian blogger TheJealousCurator is jealous of my art: Never in my life have I been more in the mood for coffee, fajitas, and marshmallows than I am at this very moment. Ok, normally I wouldn't think that combo was a very good idea, but Danish artist Jonna Pedersen has me convinced otherwise. Fantastic color choices, and beautifully boring subject matter. Now that's the kind of combo I really love! ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. BROOKLYN BLOGGER HAS ARTIST CRUSH ON MY PAINTINGS- april 2011
Art consultant and blogger Kate Singleton from Brooklyn i New York has written about my paintings on her blog: Sometimes the best things in life find their way to you- such is the case with today’s crush, Danish artist Jonna Pedersen. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. REVIEW BY NEW YORK ART CRITIC & CURATOR DAVID GIBSON - marts 2011
Jonna Pedersen “Fun Pops On a Stick”, 2010, acrylic on canvas, 9.4 x 11.8 in. This work by Jonna Pedersen is called “Fun Pops On a Stick”. You might think that the artist is interested in pure products of pop life and commercial culture, but in fact, it looks like she is most attracted to the way that the words compose themselves in mundane situations. Some things in this piece are very obvious, an obvious metaphor, in this case its a fun pop. But other words seem to be coming out of it: ok, calmi, salmi. That looks like a brand name but it also infers to the roots of words calm, soul, love.
Jonna Pedersen “Licoriciii”, 2010, acrylic on canvas, 9.4 x 11.8 in. Another piece is called “Licoriciii”. We have a package that looks like a checkerboard, it is a very simple cube shape and seems to be a carton of candies. And its simplicity has a drowsy visual quality, the checkered pattern hypnotizes you and makes you want to open that box and take a candy.
Jonna Pedersen “Portrait of a Caramel”, 2010, Acrylic on canvas, 31.5 x 39.4 in. One more work is called “Portrait of a Caramel”. Chocolate coated toffee lollipops. The artist is obviously compelled by candy, sweetness, innocence, and yet commercial packaging, intentionality. These are all very minute but visually stunning images with metaphors of nationalism, stars on a blue background, red and white colors. These colors come out of heraldry, they entertain and confuse us, they also make us want to buy this pack of caramel.
