Marking the opening of his upcoming exhibition "Waterline" in Paris, Pejac will be releasing a new limited edition print for the occasion.

For this release, the artist picked the main image from his previous Venice show, a large charcoal drawing "A Forest". Depicting a fantastical landscape dominated by the smog-covered industrial chimneys letting out thick, dark smoke, which then form a hilly landscape in the sky, the iconic drawing felt like a perfect fit for this particular show. Presenting the unjust and careless relationship between humans and nature, the piece is a great example of artist's ability to compose beautiful poetic images while portraying a dark, disturbing reality. At the same time, it shows his extraordinary artistic skills and drawing technique, creating both soft, dreamy imagery while accenting the important details in great detail.

The edition was produced through a manual, painstaking process conducted and closely overlooked by the artist, resulting in each copy taking up to 1hr of work to create. Involving 5 long and precise steps for each copy, the edition run of only 80 examples measuring 105 x 75 cm (41.33 x 29.52 inches) will be available for purchase. Produced on Vein 270grs paper using 1 color hand pulled photopolymer technique, each copy has an embossed stamp, comes signed and numbered by the artist and is accompanied with Certificate of Authenticity.

The print will be sold through a lottery system for which show visitors can purchase tickets in cash, and in person only. Each ticket has to be allocated to a different person (name, email, and address), but multiple tickets can be purchased by one show visitor. Each ticket will cost €20 and will be honoured with an exclusive postcard/small print measuring 21 x 15 cm, available only through this lottery. All the funds collected through lottery tickets will be donated to the locally based environmental NGO Fondation GoodPlanet.

How?

Show only for tickets

Seems like a great way to limit his market to just locals. But hopefully it increases the chance for non locals to purchase an original

They are raising money for charity and they know already the large volume of collectors visiting Paris..

It also clearly states one person can register many different people, so you don’t need to be there. Just need a friend.

So are there members based in paris who are willing to consolidate UAA members who want to buy a ticket (to buy a chance for the print) and do a good deed at the same time? At the veey least, there’s a show limited small postcard/ print for every ticket sold.

Come on parisians, show us the power of the forum.

Bonjour, can I make 934 entries please for my family and friends

Why do you think they went for the option that you can register more then one person insted of the alternative that only visitors could buy a ticket?

"The print will be sold through a lottery system for which show visitors can purchase tickets in cash, and in person only. Each ticket has to be allocated to a different person (name, email, and address), but multiple tickets can be purchased by one show visitor."

Would also love the be added to the list if we have someone here to be able to help us....

He strongest print IMO

As stated on other thread if anyone willing to help will get and send banksy poster from LA show for ticket and complimentary print.

DM if interested

Any help here with a lottery ticket would be appreciated, can return the favor perhaps with some assistance from the Beyond the Streets shop merch, as I will be attending in the next week or so. Ty

i think i'm going and won't mind buying a few people a ticket. I'll let you guys know when i'm sure.

If there's anyone who can buy me a lottery ticket let me know

Why would someone put a randoms name down, when they can put family and friends names down instead, which will give them more chance of getting one or a few?

Yes I am and no I can't

Be polite
