Marcel dzama, divers

Marcel Dzama | Divers
1997-1999 | watercolour & rootbeer | 9.75 x 12.5 in

Marcel Dzama’s Divers is an impeccable example of the watercolour and rootbeer drawings that brought this Winnipeg born, Brooklyn based artist to international stardom. The diver surfaces for air and quietly sits in the middle of the page while something hangs, floats, or swims above.

Marcel Dzama is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Brooklyn. Born and raised in Manitoba, Dzama is known for his drawing, sculptures, dioramas, films, and paintings. His work is characterized by an immediately recognizable visual language that draws from a diverse range of pop culture references and artistic influences. He received his BFA from the University of Manitoba’s School of Art in 1997. Dzama has exhibited extensively across the world, with recent solo exhibitions including A Flower of Evl, Sies + Höke, Düsseldorf; The Fallen Fables, Crown Point Press, San Francisco; Hollow Laughter, Kunstmuseum Thun, Switzerland; and A Trickster Made this World, Galería Helga de Alvear, Madrid. Dzama’s work is represented in collections across the world, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Gallery; London; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; and the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa.
