Pejo
The Belgian artist couple, winner of The London Art Biennale 2019 for applied arts. In real life and in artistic life a couple that made its way into the glass art world, Johanna (1959) as Laureate Master in stained glass and fusion techniques and Peter (1958) an award-winning international designer joined hands and minds to create contemporary glass art as Pejo. At first they 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. They paint with glass grains and glass powder as a new creative skill.
