Pejac is an enigmatic artist known for iconic street art pieces, created in various cities around the world. His murals, paintings and sculptures are full of visual metaphors and illusions – playing with scale, dimension, and perspective. His work intervenes in global issues such as climate change, the refugee crisis, and the Covid-19 pandemic. Pejac is passionate about humanity and meeting people where they are – “I am very moved by working in the public space as it is the ultimate form of giving art to people who might have never stepped into a museum or gallery. Pejac first brought his art to the streets in 2000 while living in Milan. His environmentally-conscious works often feature silhouettes. These anonymous shadow figures are an entrypoint for the viewer into the detailed world of his murals. In Vandal-ism (Paris, 2014), the silhouetted figure in board shorts and trainers throws a paintball at a wall. Within that splat there is a recreation of Edouard Manet’s most famous work, Luncheon on the Grass (1863). By demonstrating this technical prowess, he shows that the simplicity of graffiti is a stylistic choice – like impressionism or cubism. Pejac places graffiti within this rich art historical lineage.
