Pejo
Mixed Media Artist
Bio
Pejo, winner of The London Art Biennale 2019 for applied art. In real life and in artistic life a couple that made its way into the glass art world, Johanna as Laureate Master in stained glass and fusion techniques and Peter an award-winning international designer joined hands and minds to create contemporary glass art. Their drive to push boundaries and ex-perimenting with new materials and techniques resulted in a great variety of glass art and styles. Creating their own unique style, resulted in international recognition. The exclu-sive and unique designs made with the Pejo technique came by just following their urge to discover how far glass will allow them to be bent, colored and shaped as they imagine it. Besides numerous international prizes they have a diverse exposition history with ex-positions in The MEAM Barcelona, London, Madrid, Lisbon, Strasbourg, Firenze, Palermo, New York, Miami, Zurich, Norway, Belgium and a permanent expo in the Museum of con-temporary art in Denmark.
Statement
Glass is and will be our great medium to create unique artwork. Not following the conventional methods, we experiment to the limit. Often by using recycled glass our creative minds must go that extra mile to overcome the laws in physics. Being restless we go for the next creation we feel we must make at that time. Some call us styleless but our style is to create new exceptional artwork never seen before. The inspiration starts in two brains melted together to one total pic-ture. Sometimes in the abstract sphere sometimes in realism, that's how we as a couple create.
