Set of 15 handcoloured lithographs

Calendar 2007 by Dan Perjovschi is a set of 15 hand-colored lithographs that blend humor, social critique, and minimalist line drawing to comment on contemporary issues. Each piece features simple, black line illustrations paired with occasional text, addressing themes such as global warming, consumerism, and politics. Perjovschi’s characteristic style is both playful and provocative, using stick figures and basic shapes to convey complex social commentary. Each lithograph stands as a snapshot of a particular concern or observation relevant to 2007, with images like Citizen Consumer, Kyoto Treaty, and other sketches that reflect global anxieties and cultural critiques. This limited edition set, part of an edition of 50, encapsulates Perjovschi’s approach to art as a form of journalistic and social observation, encouraging viewers to reflect on familiar issues through a sharp, yet accessible visual language.

Dan Perjovschi (Romania, 1961) is a conceptual artist known for his satirical drawings and installations addressing social and political issues. Using markers or chalk, he creates spontaneous, graffiti-like works directly on walls, often in museums or public spaces. His art merges humor and critique, offering sharp commentary on contemporary global events.

I am extremely critical of the Romanian art education system.
- Dan Perjovschi

Dan Perjovschi is an internationally renowned artist and political activist. Best known for his use of cartoon and comic illustrations to graffiti walls, windows, ceilings, doors and floors all over the world, the Romanian artist seeks to speak out against current political, economic and societal issues. Although he studied painting for twelve years, he prefers to draw his satire with the simple line from a marker or piece of chalk. Dan Perjovschi uses articles or news reports for inspiration, and as a result, all of his works are a humorous yet bitter observations of reality. The post-communist and post-modernist artist was born the same year the Berlin Wall was built, and to use Perjovschi’s words, he was born “on the wrong side of it.” During communist times, his artistic freedom of speech was restricted to drawings with two interpretations – one for the government, and one for his political commentary. While the other side of the Berlin wall was littered with graffiti, he drew on the walls of his own, confined apartment. It is this constraint from his youth that motivates him to be politically active. As he says, “I will never forget that 1 000 people died so I can speak now.” (Artist website)

What is Performance Art?

Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
