Graph paper is typically used for plotting graphs and other spatial or mathematical visualizations. However, for Pejac, its uses extend far beyond a simple two-dimensional grid. Known for his trompe-l’œil paintings and playful street art, Pejac frequently employs the precise geometry of gridded sketchbooks to challenge perception and explore depth and movement.

In Pejac’s work, scenes like children playfully tossing snowballs—actually cubes from the grid itself—and a construction worker etching out the iconic Sistine Chapel image of God and Adam’s hands touching, redefine our understanding of space and the potential of a “blank slate.” Discover more on Instagram.
