Marcel Dzama "Even the Ghost of the Past"
David Zwirner 19th Street
This event has ended.
Marcel Dzama is best known for his figurative compositions of pen and watercolor on manila-colored paper. Bearing a characteristic palette of muted browns, grays, greens, and reds, Dzama’s drawings are populated by an expansive cast of human, animal, and hybrid characters. In this exhibition distinct personalities take center stage, most notably the masked and armed “terrorist.” In the sixteen-part drawing Inflated Threat, 2007, this character is obsessively repeated amongst cowboys, archers, and femmes fatales, suggesting the ex- aggerated climate of fear and shoot-‘em-up mentality at the forefront of American politics.
