This hand-selected trio of silkscreen prints forms part of Pejac’s ambitious new project, SELF-DEFENCE.

Translating 12 original paintings by the artist, the series depicts a day in the life of an icebreaker ship, circling endlessly through a frozen polar landscape. The icebreaker moves counterclockwise, representing a 12-hour countdown. Each print represents a different hour of the day, as the vessel traces its path like a hand on an imaginary clock.

The images on this page showcase the combinations of sets as an example of their differentiation. This 28-colour silkscreen features a hand-finished beam of light from the ship’s bow – applied in Pejac's studio in Madrid to each individual print using spray and stencil techniques. The team at Make-Ready, our specialist fine art print studio in London, have translated the artist’s original works to a result the artist described as the “highest possible level of fidelity and detail, achieved thanks to the exceptional technical work, meticulous adjustments and absolute precision at every stage.”

Pejac26 collaborationsPejac is an enigmatic artist known for iconic street art pieces, created in various cities around the world. 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.”
