Romanian artist Dan Perjovschi makes drawings that resemble cartoons or graffiti, and which are parts of site-specific or work-in-progress projects. He entered the international scene in 1999, with a work called rEST, exhibited in the Romanian Pavilion of the 48th Venice Biennale.

Perjovschi, known in his country as the artistic director of the journals 22 and Dilema, as well as an illustrator, not only makes humorous comments on the location and environment of the work, but also creates stories of a subtle irony.

His recurring subjects are situations, political and social issues, like the post-socialist identity, economic, political and social anomalies and absurdities, the cultural interaction of East-European and Western art, and he is a keen satirist of several forms of moral weakness, especially in public life. In Mucsarnok, Perjovschi will make mural drawings that reflect on current cultural, political and social issues, as well as the exhibition itself and its context.
