Dan Perjovschi
Galerie Michel Rein, Paris
Free Style. In this exhibition, the artist deals with diverse subjects, such as the economic crisis, the President of the Republic, the art market, Obamania or capitalism shaking, etc. "Drawing after drawing, Perjovschi is knitting the big narrative of the contemporary world. With humor, irony and empathy, needing no one and obeying no rules."
For about 10 years Dan Perjovschi has been jumping from one wall to another (some
time falling on the floor or floating from the ceiling) story-telling the world
around us. As he says, if he draws it, he understands it. The style is anarchic
with no apparent structure. A sort of visual jazz. From international
world-affecting decision to the taste of the morning coffee, the distance is
measured in centimeters. Drawing after drawing, Perjovschi is knitting the big
narrative of the contemporary world. With humor, irony and empathy, needing no one
and obeying no rules. Free style.
Free Style is Dan Perjovschi's second solo show at galerie Michel Rein, for which he
will draw ont the walls of the gallery. He will deal with diverse subjects, such as
the economic crisis, the President of the Republic, the art market, Obamania or
capitalism shaking, etc.
