Pejac在公开自己的作品时总是神秘而出乎意料,它又一次在巴黎宣布了一个自己制作的“弹出式个展”,让艺术界大吃一惊。大约一年之后,他在威尼斯运河上的老贡多拉工作室展出了一年后,在他突然造访纽约一个月后,这位西班牙艺术家刚刚宣布了这个名为“Waterline”的新展览。为了展示这些精选的新作品,Pejac找到了一艘旧的peniche船,从2018年6月20日至24日,它将被改造成一个非传统的漂浮艺术画廊。停泊在圣母院教堂旁边的这艘古董船将举办他迄今为止最亲密的展览,展示一系列完成的工作室画作。Pejac杂志春季版通过展示之前未见过的作品,Waterline将最直接地展示艺术家实践的未中介阶段。这些引人注目的图片充满诗意和绝望,描绘了一个非传统的未来,聚焦于人类对待资源和环境的方式,以及当前的社会政治问题和现代社会价值观。
Continuously secretive and unexpected when it comes to revealing his projects, Pejac (previously) once again surprised the art world by announcing an upcoming self-produced pop-up solo exhibition in Paris. Roughly a year since his last showing at an old gondola workshop on the canals of Venice, and a month since his surprise visit to NYC, the Spanish artist just announced this new show titled Waterline.To exhibit this selection of new work, Pejac found an old péniche boat that will be transformed into an unconventional floating art gallery from June 20-24th, 2018. Moored right next to Notre-Dame cathedral, this vintage vessel will host his most intimate show to date, presenting a large series of accomplished studio drawings. Works on paper are a crucial part of Pejac’s creative process and are usually the first step toward large public interventions or canvases, but are truly artworks in their own right.“What people get to see on paper, on canvas, on a wall, or as a finished sculpture, is the end of a very long trip that starts inside of you. When I start painting or drawing, that is the end, not the beginning of the process. Before that happens, I have already tried so many different ideas and made so many choices.—Pejac for Spring issue of Juxtapoz MagazineBy showcasing previously unseen works, Waterline will grant the most direct look at the unmediated stage of the artist’s practice. Created mostly with charcoal or pencil on paper, these images are the early stages of concepts we’ve already seen turn into large pieces, or might still evolve into their final versions. Poetic and despairing, these striking pictures propose an unconventional future focused on the ways in which humans treat resources and the environment, as well as current socio-political issues and “modern societyvalues.
