Pejac - Scattercrow print, by coller on Jul 12, 2017 5:55:10 GMT 1, What about the image? I would be interested in your interpretation? I take it as: - fears are ephemeral (the "scatter" of the title leads to it too). - you're your own fear (crows scaring crows). Wondering also how it relates to the current world topics. Politics, environment? Courtesy of Juxtapoz mag: "Depicting a silhouette of a lonely scarecrow disintegrating into a flock of birds, "Scattercrow" is a classic example of his subtle visual language and strong messages he is sending out. Poetic and illusive at the same time the image features one of his favorite and most recurring images - birds. As a symbol of freedom and untouched nature, they are emerging from the very same object that was created in order to frighten them away, glorifying the power of nature over human actions. " All 5 of his print releases so far have had the environment as a core meaning/statement and I think the same thread runs with this. Definitely get a freedom from fear vibe. Also freedom from the human condition/societal norms etc. Juxtaposition bw ground/sky texture could maybe imply existential freedom. All kindsa stuff goin on there.
Or it's just about freedom.

Pejac - Scattercrow print, by sugar72 on Jul 12, 2017 6:49:21 GMT 1, This guy has the original not sure I love it anymore in the flesh.
That's what I initially thought but then prefer the birds going right to left on the print plus the ground details adds a lot more to the print. The original actually for me looks like the poorer of the two as far as composition for me!

Anyways, for the price hike, I'm afraid I'm out - but good luck to everyone looking to snag one!

Hadn't noticed that at first. That does actually add a lot to the image. The print is clearly a next level. Thanks for pointing it out, I do like the composition of the print better now

I'd think jealous is a tad pushing it , the original is about to become a bargain after the price bump !. Plus I'm sure he'll be looked after if he wants to purchase the print

Good to see you took more than a cursory glance before posting your negative opinion. Also, that isn't "in the flesh", it's a photo. In case you hadn't noticed that at first...

Pejac - Scattercrow print, by loother on Jul 12, 2017 11:34:45 GMT 1, I think Pejac is fabulous, but wish he would produce a print that has the kind of wit and joy that many of his original work contains. My wife - who also loves his work, and came with me to last year's show in London - finds his print releases very melancholy, and though I think there are positive interpretations both of this and, say, Meadow, I accept that they provoke complex emotions. As a result, it has been hard to get any of them up on the walls (I own one of his prints, and am still working on it).
She says that while she would appreciate seeing them in a gallery, she would prefer to have more positive art on her own walls. So Beejoir's Imodium 70, for example, went straight up. It's just a load of dots, and doesn't really provoke any emotion at all, but the colours are nice and stuff. It depends, I suppose, on what function we want the art in our own homes to perform.
Though they are technically and conceptually impressive, do people who have had his prints framed up for a while feel that they actually bring them long-term pleasure?

Pejac - Scattercrow print, by Happy Shopper on Jul 12, 2017 11:51:27 GMT 1, I think I prefer the original with birds flying right... Our eyes naturally read that way, unless you're used to reading arabic or Japanese!?
I also don't think the painted ground/floor adds anything to the image or concept.

I disagree as I think the background and floor adds depth to the image. Makes it more eerie in a sense.

Definitely prefer image with ground, it certainly does give depth. I feel, without the ground, the image is too flat and bland.

It still feels like such a clichรฉd image though. I don't get the appeal.

Would have just been a 1 colour screenprint and deffinitely not a grands worth at retail. I like the print, but they really don't compare to the original work.. kinda feel a bit lifeless.

I have 4 of his prints framed and proudly displayed. They certainly are doing their job for me. Absolutely love them and look at them more than any other piece I own, especially Wound, which is my top choice of his.
I'd agree that they are a tad melancholy though. But im a fairly miserable sod so perhaps that's why I like them so much haha!

Yes sorry I am also one that much prefers the right to left and the context and detailing of the ground.

Pejac is a great artist of our time. Banksy is great in its way and my favorite artist Dran has a playful way of being great but Pejac is a true master of his craft. His talent is exceptional.

That's because you don't know the artist. Any person who knows him knows the image. He isn't unknown. Price may be expensive for you...it will be cheap for others.

He is most definitely a talent, but has not made it yet outside of a niche group of collectors. letisss: critics tend to bring up these arguments again and again and I would really like to understand these points. could you explain what difference it would make a) if a major gallery would stage a pejac show and b) if major auction houses would sell his works?
his editions usually are sold out within minutes as was his london show (sold out before the private viewing). I also believe his next show will be sold out pre-show start - even with probably higher prices and doing it on their own. and second question regarding the non existing auction consignments: who in their right mind would sell his pejac original at this early stage of pejac's career? in my opinion this shows that collectors believe in the artist, love to look at the originals on their walls and can't be bothered to make a quick profit through an auction.

Pejac - Scattercrow print, by samfrost on Jul 12, 2017 14:13:45 GMT 1, A guy named Lazarides did pretty well for an artist from Bristol. Must have missed the Gagosian show? Good thing his career never took off :-)

Pejac - Scattercrow print, by Poster Bob on Jul 12, 2017 14:13:58 GMT 1, His points couldn't be more self-explanatory. No explanation is required.
Clearly, if you know the artist he is known! However, he's not well known in the art world. He's never had a show at any major gallery or museum. Nor is his work regularly consigned to major auction houses. He is most definitely a talent, but has not made it yet outside of a niche group of collectors. letisss: critics tend to bring up these arguments again and again and I would really like to understand these points. could you explain what difference it would make a) if a major gallery would stage a pejac show and b) if major auction houses would sell his works? his editions usually are sold out within minutes as was his london show (sold out before the private viewing). I also believe his next show will be sold out pre-show start - even with probably higher prices and doing it on their own. and second question regarding the non existing auction consignments: who in their right mind would sell his pejac original at this early stage of pejac's career? in my opinion this shows that collectors believe in the artist, love to look at the originals on their walls and can't be bothered to make a quick profit through an auction.
