Marcel Dzama – Ex Libris, 2011 – Mixed Media
Presents Opposition and Sister Squares Reconciled Ex Libris #20 - 20 unique collages. 10 b/w and 10 colored ones - Collage and drawing on black cardboard - Signed - The accompanying Ex Libris is also individually overwritten in white pencil.
Marcel Dzama's Ex Libris, part of his 2011 series Opposition and Sister Squares Reconciled, is a striking mixed media collage on black cardboard. This piece, one of 20 unique works, combines black-and-white imagery with drawn elements, creating a surreal and dynamic composition. The collage depicts a group of female dancers, their movements and postures forming a rhythmic and almost celestial pattern, as if caught mid-performance. The use of white pencil lines adds a sense of motion and connectivity, while the stark contrast of the black background enhances the figures’ ethereal presence. Dzama’s work often explores themes of performance, play, and surrealism, and Ex Libris is no exception, blending these elements to evoke a sense of mystique and elegance.

What is Naive Art?

What is Naive Art?

Naïve art describes a style of artwork that is simple and unsophisticated, often created by artists without formal training in an academy or art school. The style is characterized by a lack of advanced techniques, giving it a childlike appearance. Naïve art often features bright colors, simple shapes, and a straightforward approach to subject matter, reflecting the artist's untrained perspective.
