A GAME OF CHESS

national/international – short art film installation

Critically acclaimed International artist Marcel Dzama’s work is characterized by his intricate immediately recognizable visual language that draws from a diverse range of references and artistic influences, including Dada, Bauhaus and Marcel Duchamp. Dzama works in multiple disciplines to bring his cast of human figures, animals, and imaginary hybrids to life, and has developed an international reputation and following for his art that depicts fanciful, anachronistic worlds.

In A Game of Chess, Dzama illustrates these juxtaposed methodologies that push the limits of art, culture and interaction in a unique style reminiscent of the Triadic Ballet of the 1920’s. Dzama has shown extensively throughout Canada and Internationally and in extensive collections worldwide in major museums/galleries. [Represented by David Zwirner Gallery-New York+London UK].
