INSPIRATION

PEJAC | Powerful and poetic painting by Thomas Jukes The artist Pejac’s work has become incredibly well known for its masterful use of paint in seemingly any environment. From paper and traditional canvas to the back streets and public spaces all across Europe and the wider world including Moscow, Hong Kong, Turkey, and the United States. Pejac’s work is usually not simply a canvas for a beautiful painting but also a talking point for heavyweight social and environmental concerns.

This was the turning point for what would define the artist in 2000, it was art for everybody and not to be confined to stuffy institutions. 11
