Pejac’s Newest Series “Redemption”
Utilizes Pressed Wood as Canvas
Spanish street artist Pejac‘s work (previously) is known for its subtle
interaction with urban environments, small interruptions to everyday
buildings like bird-shaped cracks created in an abandoned power
plant’s windows, or trompe l’oeil paintings scattered through the streets
of the district of Uskudar.
Pejac’s newest series brings an urban resource into the studio rather
than having the artist travel out. Utilizing pressed wood as a pseduo-canvas,
Pejac draws with black ink and pencil to produce soft
deer, birds, and flowers in the works’ foregrounds. These natural
elements showcase the wooden medium’s origin, highlighting how
natural environments are continuously being chopped down and
constructed over.
