Dan Perjovschi

*1961, lives in Bucharest
With caustic irony, Dan Perjovschi comments on the absurdities and cynicisms of the “brave new world” in his daily drawings consisting of just a few lines. He exaggerates current topics from world news as well as general social phenomena or things that affect the artist personally. The denizens of Perjovschi’s micro- and macro-worlds confront the pressure of the global whole now helplessly-forlorn, now with tragicomic conceitedness, now with undisguised lust for power or petty opportunism. Perjovschi expansively populates the walls of exhibition institutions with his figures and scenarios. He produces newspapers and artist’s books or inserts for magazines and publications. At Württembergischer Kunstverein he is showcasing inserts that he produced in 2005 for a total of six issues of the TAZ daily newspaper, along with drawings that he did 2004 in the context of “media_city_seoul”. For the Kunstverein he also produced "Solid Ground (white, grey, black), a work in three parts.
