Shadow-Like Street Art (UPDATE)

Artist Pejac Deals with Subtractive Elements in His Public Work

— March 1, 2014 — Art & Design
The shadowy work of Spanish artist Pejac deals with subtractive qualities, which utilizes the negative space in a visually striking manner. Like his previous work, artist Pejac works predominantly with black paint, creating scenes that accentuate their surroundings. Whether that entails painting barred windows on the side of a flawless brick wall (one of which has been tied back as though the metal were curtains) or depicting a scarecrow disintegrating into individual birds, the images are mesmerizing.

Taking over the streets of Spain, artist Pejac leaves behind thought-provoking artworks that will encourage people to indulge in their fantasies and imaginations. Each work involves careful layers of paint that strategically leaves out spots he doesn't want covered to create a unique sense of depth. Overall, artist Pejac showcases a different form of graffiti.
Trend Themes
1. Subtractive Street Art - There's an opportunity to integrate subtractive elements into street art to create unique, eye-catching installations.
2. Black Paint Art - Using black paint to create street art highlights the surroundings and creates a visual contrast that is disruptive in the graffiti world.
3. Depth Perception in Public Art - By utilizing careful layering of paint, street artists can create depth and a unique sense of perspective in their public works.
Industry Implications
