Simple drawings, complex ideas
Exhibit at Spencer illuminates artist's social philosophies

His arms move quickly and deliberately, like a teacher at a chalkboard. He draws simple figurines, as if the walls were just a giant comic strip. Somehow, a clear message comes through.
A man with a thick black and gray beard stands 20-feet high on a cherry picker in the Spencer Museum of Art, drawing on the walls. He wears a green fly-fishing jacket, which holds everything he needs — a few markers and a notebook.
"I have my own language," Dan Perjovski said. "These are my words, and I recombine them into new phrases."
Perjovschi is the artist-in-residence at the Spencer Museum of Art. He has been drawing in the central court of the museum for almost two weeks now, creating walls of statements and observations through cartoon-looking, graffiti-style art. His exhibit, Dan Perjovschi Central Court, will officially open Thursday and run until Feb. 6, 2011. His artwork will stay on the walls until the end of the exhibit.
Perjovschi mixes political messages with simple observations of life. One of his favorite and recurring drawings depicts a man in a business suit pointing and yelling at a young skateboarder. The speech bubble coming from the man in the business suit reads "I was at Woodstock".

It is that connection that Dan looks for. He said that everything he writes or draws, we have all thought about at some point. He said he has just trained himself to capture those thoughts in his notebook.
Walls have always been a part of Perjovski's life. He was born in 1961 in the city of Sibiu, Romania, the same year the Berlin Wall was erected.
Perjovschi said living in communist Romania was a life of restrictions. The government controlled all sources of information, blocking what Perjovschi starved for. He said he survived some of the worst dictatorial regimes of communist Romania where there

was no freedom to travel or read certain books.
While there, he started a sort of underground art project with his wife, Lia, whom he met at a special art school when they were 10 years old.
There would be periods where his family had no milk or bread. His working-class parents somehow managed to send all three of their children to universities, where Periovschi studied painting.
Because of censorship in Romania, each of Dan's art shows went through three different censorship committees before the public could see it. So, he began private
"It is new all the time," Lia said. "We had a common idea to do what we want, a kind of ambition to contribute to our context."

Dan Perijovschis' "Central Court" exhibit will officially open Thursday night. Perjovschi will speak at 5 p.m. at the SMA Auditorium inside the museum.

Then, in 1990, Perjovschi helped begin and run the first independent magazine in Romania called "Revista 22," named after a key date in the Romanian revolution: Dec. 22, 1989.
