New Pejac work in Croatia, by Viking Surfer on Oct 26, 2016 11:51:15 GMT 1, Absolutely breath taking, especially the last one.
CAMOUFLAGE (Tribute to Renรฉ Magritte) / RIJECA, CROATIA
โ'On a surrealistic level I made a call to attention to natureโs survival instinct - flock of birds camouflage as broken windows in order to blend in and disappear to the human eye for the sake of their survival. As a secondary reading Iโm playing with a tribute to Renรฉ Magritteโs birds holding the sky within them.โ Pejac
After his sold out exhibition โLaw of the Weakestโ in London PEJAC is now back to the streets. This time the artist visited the city of Rijeka in Croatia after being invited by the local Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. The works were made during his 2 weeks residency.

BRAIN DRAIN / RIJECA, CROATIA
โ'A representation of humanity where people can be seen as drifting jellyfishes with complex thinking minds. We are all highly capable minds carrying a subtle hidden dark side capable of inflicting damage to others we cross path with. At the same time it is symbolising the forced exodus of creative minds from their origin places in the search of a better life.โ Pejac

New Pejac work in Croatia, by Viking Surfer on Oct 26, 2016 11:53:11 GMT 1, My personal favourite:
ASHES TO ASHES / RIJECA, CROATIA
โBefore taking off to Croatia it was sadly brought to my attention that the country bear hunting tourism is on the rise thanks to their endless beautiful forests holding a large bear community. Luckily Iโm convinced that despite how many animals get killed for amusement, nature will always persist. In such spirit the work was not painted but revealed by scratching off the wall.โ Pejac

New Pejac work in Croatia, by Forbidden Love on Oct 26, 2016 15:09:41 GMT 1, really good. I think his street work is amazing. His gallery work is still really good but doesnt translate in the same way, and dont think his prints are as good either. I dont think they are executed in the same way except for meadow.

but if you see the "package pejac" - studio work (inkl. sculptures), street art, prints, person etc....
= he's at the top !

I mean...I thought the show was good, but when I view the images of his street work I get far more excited, the same feeling when I look at some of the best works out there. Agree think his near the top

Agree think his near the top I agree. I do think he's getting better at translating to other mediums though. But when so much of what you do is about placement it's always going to be tough to replicate. |

New Pejac work in Croatia, by pippyt75 on Oct 26, 2016 19:05:28 GMT 1, Agree that his street work and placement is better than the gallery works and prints in general- but that was also the case for a certain mr B in the early days.... I think also bear in mind how young Pejac is.... he's seriously going places and I think the works posted above are stunning and prove that. He just needs to stick a few more pieces in New York or London or LA and he'll fly..... But I equally love the fact that these are in Croatia

40 is the new 20! (Don't think it's that old in terms of artists)

Haha! In fairness I had no idea pejac was 40! Man, he looks good on it! Must be something to do with the Spanish air and Rioja.

In terms of creativity and his choice of 'materials' to work on, he is on par with mr b? He's one up imo! Who can think of doing those birds in broken glass? Definitely a point that sets them apart but keep in mind that Banksy's works, for the most part, are all "non sanctioned" and usually not possible to take the time pejac does for placement and using other mediums such as glass ect. Not to mention B having been at it for 16+ years with a massive body of stellar work and still anonymous and never caught. IMO pejac is still in the early stages of his career and even to be considered close to Bs level is a monumental accomplishment and well deserved. |

New Pejac work in Croatia, by pada1 on Oct 28, 2016 6:02:38 GMT 1, As usual, it's always very subjective to compare artists and bodies of work.
Everyone will have their preference and valid arguments that may or may not touch another.
Pejac does much more for me than Banksy.
I had the chance to meet him during his travel and i really appreciated his accessibility, simplicity and knowledge. His art is very poetic, not always straight to the point and aggressive. It blends to the environment as if it has always been there but no one ever noticed it and its meaning. Smart and beautiful.

New Pejac work in Croatia, by d.r. perseus on Oct 28, 2016 6:38:55 GMT 1, I see his art and say how? sometimes before I even get to the why?
For me its easy to see (not comparing the two as I was late to the game and the spark that ignited it all does nothing for me) talent and him continually commanding our wonder with his work...I feel the dialogue goes...
" look at this shit!"
wow that is cool!!
"Now look closer."
woah.
