Pejac

Pejac is a Spanish painter whose works include outdoor murals, often utilising techniques. Pejac is familiar with different styles, techniques, formats and mediums: "From miniature window drawings, striking site-specific interventions to elaborate replicas of classic masterpieces, [...]. Taking clever twists on familiar images and skill-fully reinventing the public space, Spain-based artist is touching sensitive social and environmental issues in a smart and poetic manner." Even though Pejac is skilled and capable of making remakes of classic masterpieces by Claude Monet, Eugène Delacroix, Katsushika Hokusai, or references to Lucio Fontana or Alberto Giacometti, he feels comfortable minimising his work to bare silhouettes or shadows when needed. He studied fine art, first at Salamanca, then Barcelona, and finally at .

As of 2014, he was again living in Santander. On Friday 22 July, Pejac opened his first major UK show Law of the Weakest at Londonewcastle Project Space in London. Before the show, he made his first steps in the British capital by creating a series of particular and provocative public art interventions.

Another one of mentioned street art installation was a series called Downside Up. Pejac was playing with an imagination of those who walk pass chosen streets and he placed often seen shoes tossed over a lamp upside down.

During the show Pejac exhibited 35 pieces including oils on canvas, sculptures in different mediums, installations, photos and drawings. On the night of the opening he also released a lenticular limited print edition of 200 examples called Linea. Venice, Italy. 30 September - 1 October 2017 Two days pop-up show in Venice featured artworks from the series called Redemption Series. Playing with the texture of pressed wood panels, Pejac created visual treats that use this medium in a poetic and conceptual way. Between the topics, he reflects in this series belong social and environmental issues (deforestation, pollution, alienation, climate change and drought).

WaterlineParis, France. 20–24 June 2018 'Pejac's self-produced show Waterline took place on an old péniche boat that he transferred into a floating gallery on Seine river, moored right next to Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris.
