"Paintings like Peterson's face a dilemma. When a painting is brought to such a high degree of finish and photographic resolution there is a risk that the painted surface is seen as a fetishized object made by a person of privilege.
...a painter working in this territory can be accused of uncritically using something horrible to make something beautiful. This is a difficult area to work within...
my tendency for now, however, is to see Peterson's labors as evidence of his commitment."
