AP of Pejac's long sold out "Heavy Sea" print available on auction with 100% going to charity efforts in Eastern Europe and the Balkans - www.solidarty.org/auction/pejac-heavy-sea-ap-screenprint-hpm/

Nice frame-up

I went with a grey tone on the frame so it wouldn't be sharper than the ink on the print. It panned out well, balancing the image.

Wow! That appears to be a handfinished print and nicely framed as well. Excellent gift!

Another powerful piece by Pejac, most likely for his upcoming London show:



Geography lesson (the imagination to power)

absolutly stunning pieces and preview. a clever and talented artist. wooow !!
i am sure we will see a lot of amazing artwork at the london show and in the future...
unfortunately i missed the meadow print :-(

Does an image exist that's before your 'Before' shot?

I'm wondering if Pejac himself went over anyone, like maybe the writer responsible for the throw-up in your 'After' shot.

Separately, if the work was known in the area as having been created by Pejac, it doesn't surprise me that it was gone over. That kind of stereotypical national imagery being played around with by a foreigner on Japanese soil was bound to ruffle some local feathers.

Cheers for this image.

What's not entirely clear is if Pejac also added the white background (on that night or perhaps a previous one). Whether it was actually him or the shop owner, given the state of the nearby walls and dispenser machine, it's probably safe to assume the white coat of paint went over the mark-making of other people who previously attempted to claim that territory as their own.

True, the image does not reveal this.

Given that Pejac used the words "focus and suspense" to describe making the painting at night, and assuming that this is a truthful description, I would say that it is unlikely, though obviously not impossible, that he put down the base layer of paint on the same night. I do agree that there probably was graffiti on the door beforehand, though.

When considering your observation in a previous post that it is not surprising that Pejac's artwork got painted over, I think it is worth bearing in mind that it had been in place since at least 29 June 2015 (going by the time the work was first posted on Instagram by the artist).

If the throw-up that went over was painted around the time it was posted by sho_altmed on Instagram (1 February 2016), Pejac's piece lasted about 7 months.

On 18 October 2015, Pejac made the below repost of an image by keystonowhere which shows his piece with a newer throw-up above it. The original photo was also posted on 18 October. If this photo was taken around the time it was posted, we then know that Pejac's piece was gone over sometime between mid-October 2015 and 1 February 2016.

As you observe, from the state of the area this seems to be a spot that gets painted quite frequently. A lifespan of somewhere between 3½ and 7 months is perhaps not that short given the context, and I am not convinced the work being painted over had anything to do with local feathers being ruffled.

Throw the thing already!! God dammit!
