关注环境危机的《野生动物园》作品

今年6月在巴黎成功发表演讲后，Pejac在夏季休息了一段时间后，现在回到了自己的工作室，为他在美国纽约的首演开发新作品，并在年底限量发行。。他以反复思考自己的想法和理念而闻名，最近他完成了这篇令人心酸的新文章，名为《野生动物园》(Safari)。Pejac将之前看到的一些图像混合在一起，例如带聚光灯的巡逻直升机，或者一只孤独的雄鹿，将这些图像组合成一个动态图像，描绘了一只野生动物在野外被捕获。他使用了精细的遮阳和光效，利用非正统的复合木材介质，创造了一个强大的效果。艺术家再一次将注意力集中在人类对自然的漫不经心和无知的态度上，用他自己发展出来的原始技术构建了一个扣人心弦的形象。

After taking a much-needed break over the summer following his successful presentation in Paris in June, Pejac is now back in his studio, developing new works for his U.S. debut in New York City and preparing a special limited edition that will be released toward the end of the year. Mixing his most recognizable techniques and mediums, he’s been sharing some of the alluring new pieces via his Instagram, including most recent drawings and works on pressed wood panels.The Spanish artist first introduced the captivating works on wooden chipboard from the Redemption series back in January 2017, and eventually had an entire showcase focused on these pieces back in September 2017 in Venice. Known for revisiting his ideas and concepts, he recently finished this poignant new piece titled Safari. Mixing some of the previously seen imagery, such as patrolling helicopters with a spotlight, or a lonely stag, Pejac combines these visuals into a dynamic image that depicts a wild animal caught in the open by an unknown authority. Using fastidious shading and light effects, he uses the unorthodox composite wood medium to create a powerful effect of objects flying around the animal as its surrounding crumble around it. once again putting a focus on the careless and ignorant bearing of humans towards nature, the artist constructed a gripping image utilizing an original technique he developed.With similar thematic content, Pejac’s most recent solo exhibition on an old waterway barge on the Seine in Paris included three masterful large-scale drawings, along with other works on paper. Portraying a post-apocalyptic, surreal future, these meticulously rendered drawings mounted on thick frames were matched the quality of his paintings while depicting the hefty subject with a direct and delicate technique. Showing a lone character diving deep to retrieve a sinking lifebuoy ring in between plastic waste, or a helicopter removing a lighthouse over a desert, these images showcase Pejac’s poetic vision and his ability to pass a sharp and weighty message in the most poetic way.A great example of such narrative is his canvas Le Bateau Ivre (The drunken boat) from 2015, titled after a poem written by Arthur Rimbaud, describing the drifting and sinking of a boat lost at sea in a fragmented first-person narrative saturated with vivid imagery and symbolism. Making an analogy with poem’s verbal saturation, the image shows two boys finishing from a small boat drifting through a sea densely polluted with garbage. Originally exhibited at his 2016 London solo show “Law of the Weakest,this troubling vision from only three years ago is repeatedly becoming an alarming reality around the globe.
