a transparent retrospective
Here at the CCC, Dan Perjovschi is presenting his first large-scale solo exhibition in a French art center. It is the occasion for him to take a retrospective look at his work for the first time. Doing this poses particular issues for this artist specialised in drawing, whose work, being for the most part ephemeral and inspired by the ‘ripples’ of current affairs, is firmly anchored in the present.
At the CCC he is presenting a ‘Transparent Retrospective’, recreating the best of his work by drawing them on glass panels throughout the exhibition space. Drawing on his extensive collection of drawings made since 1990, he will be successively revisiting 23 years of artistic creation overlaid onto 23 years of recent history.
Dan Perjovschi is one of the major artists of the Romanian art world. The artist, with his long experience gained in the early 1990s in post-Ceausescu Romania as a press artist, brings to this graphic genre a rapid and incisive hand coupled with a dark humour. For the last 10 years or so, he has ceased to work only on paper, freeing himself to use chalk and marker pen on actual buildings of exhibition spaces, drawing with great freedom, even on floors, walls or windows.
