What helped us get through the pandemic was never losing hope. With this edition, I would like to give collectors the opportunity to keep that optimistic feeling alive.

HOPE is a series of 1000 unique prints which revisits a mural painted on the wall of a Spanish hospital in 2020.
Pejac created the mural to remember the tragedies of Covid-19, but also the togetherness the pandemic fostered in communities around the world. Thousands of tiny figures form the illusion of a crevice. On close inspection, each has their own story, interacting with empathy and solidarity.
During a month-long residency at Make-Ready in London, Pejac reinterpreted his crevice on a blank canvas. The process was documented 1000 times. Each stage corresponds with a unique print. As a final flourish, one figure from each print is highlighted by hand with 24 carat gold leaf. In this figure, the artist hopes the viewer can see themselves shining amongst the crowd.
The images on this page show print 672/1000, selected as a representative example for prints 626-750. A minimum of 120 prints from this drop will be available at launch.

His murals, paintings and sculptures are full of visual metaphors and illusions – playing with scale, dimension, and perspective. His work intervenes in global issues such as climate change, the refugee crisis, and the Covid-19 pandemic. Pejac is passionate about humanity and meeting people where they are – “I am very moved by working in the public space as it is the ultimate form of giving art to people who might have never stepped into a museum or gallery.”
