Zachari Logan Tramua and Other Stories November 3 - December 22, 2011 Artist's Talk at 3:00 on Saturday, November 5 Daniel Cooney Fine Art is very proud to announce the first New York solo exhibition of drawings by Canadian artist Zachari Logan. The exhibition, titled Trauma and Other Stories consists of large and small-scale drawings made on paper and vellum, in the artist's own image. In Trauma and Other Stories the artist addresses the transformative nature insult has on the queer body due to the dominant heterosexist realities of everyday life. In exploring both subtle and aggressive forms of insult, Logan reveals personal anxieties by drawing splintered, modified and often multiplied representations of himself. Often he incorporates variations of art historical, literal and mythical personages. In Tower of Babel the artist is embodied 19 times, represented climbing on top of himself to form a 12 foot tall tower. Also in this exhibition there are two large drawings of his figure falling with no ground below. In Go To Hell we see his body drawn thirty times in various states of dress falling languidly downwards. Depicted variously through layered text, as in the Advice Series, (another grouping in the exhibition) Logan's image materializes into the words that are passed along as constructive feedback, but are often about correction. Zachari Logan lives and works in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. He received his BFA (2004) and his MFA (2008) from the University of Saskatchewan. Logan has shown his work in museums and galleries internationally. In addition to our exhibition he will also be opening solo shows at Galerie Jean Roch Dard in Paris and NAFF Athina in Athens, Greece. His forthcoming monograph is titled Portraits Without Pants: The Art of Zachari Logan with an introduction by Edward Lucie-Smith published by Sternthal Publications. Trauma and Other Stories is accompanied by a full color catalogue. |
