Marcel Dzama

MARCEL DZAMA "WOMAN & TWO BATS" WATERCOLOR, 2001

$5,500

With his unmistakable version of contemporary Surrealism, Marcel Dzama is one of the most successful contemporary Canadian artists.

Born in Winnipeg in 1974, Dzama had an international reputation by the time he was 30. As one of the founding members of the Royal Art Lodge in the 1990s, Dzama contributed to the renaissance of figurative art both in Canada and beyond.

Dzama's works are instantly recognizable for their subject and style. He presents seemingly banal characters or scenes and injects them with menacing, eerie, or twisted details, flirting with the absurd.

This work is classic Dzama in its mix of mystery and familiarity. Reminiscent of Hitchcock's The Birds, this work is both familiar and menacing. What has caused this mid-century woman to flee from a pair of menacing bats? Why are the bats smoking?

Full of movement and mystique, this simple scene evokes viewers to engage deeply with the surreal elements presented, as they attempt to weave together a tangible narrative.

Today Dzama's work can be found in a host of prestigious public and private collections including Paris' Centre Georges Pompidou, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the MoMA, and Le Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal. He is particularly favored by celebrity collectors including Brad Pitt, Jim Carrey, and Steve Martin.
