Dan Perjovschi is a visual artist mincing drawing, cartoon and graffiti in artistic pieces drawn directly on the walls of museums and contemporary art spaces all over the world. His drawings comment on current political, social or cultural issues. Perjovschi has played an active role in the development of civil society in Romania — through his editorial activity with Revista 22, through visual responses to the fall of Ceaușescu, and through his insistence that drawing can be a form of political journalism. His practice proves that the most minimal artistic gesture — a marker on a wall — can carry enormous critical weight when applied with precision and courage.
