The Belgian
artist couple, winner of The London Art Biennale 2019.
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 as Pejo.
At first,
Pejo created contemporary stained glass windows with a three dimensional twist
by adding perspective. Their designs were picked up by some galleries in The Netherlands
and Norway where they had their first solo exhibitions.
Being
restless they soon started with glass fusion techniques, small abstracts
mounted in old wood to large figurative glass works. By experimenting with new
materials and techniques they created their own unique style, resulting in
international recognition.
The
exclusive 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 and
shaped as they imagine it.
Pejo’s
glass art is found in many homes in Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Norway,
Denmark, Sierra Leone, Thailand and even the United States of America.
