The work "Past" by Dan Perjovschi is the only one from selection of the artistic billboards for this year’s BELEF that has been presented so far in the form of this media.. "Past" was presented on the last year's project Donaumonarchie Billboard Gallery Europe in Bratislava, that was focused on the critical evaluation of the identity of Central Europe, in the context of its past and present historical, political, cultural and economical moments. In a recognizable visual expression – drawing, which in his case becomes an unmistakable instrument in the analysis of social and life-relevant topics, Perjovschi has created an unusually strong work that highlights the relation between the cause and the result of the future determined by the past, speaking about the inability and will, the inevitable root, which sometimes needs to be removed if one wishes to make another step.

Dan Prejovschi

Born in 1961, in Romania. Lives and works in Bucharest. His unique visual language and technique characterized by the combination of classical and cartoon–like drawing and graffiti, comical, critical comments/reviews of current political, social or cultural themes have made him one of the most interesting and significant of the contemporary visual artists. Perjovschi has had an active role in the development of the urban society in Romania, through editorial work in Bucharest Cultural Magazine "Revista 22" and has contributed to the establishing of the connections between artistic scenes in Bucharest and abroad. His recent group exhibitions include taking part at the 52nd Biennial in Venice and the 2nd Biennial in Moscow, and a great independent exhibition at the Modern Art Museum in New York.
