The Royal Family
Grandly named, the Royal Art Lodge is a remarkable collection of six artists, some of whom are actually related: Marcel, Hollie, Maurice and Jeannette Dzama, Shelley Dick and Neil Farber. Usually Marcel Dzama, the best-known, steals the stage with his simple pen-and-ink-based drawings, but in this slim, full-color volume each member of the noted Canadian drawing group gets equal time with a selection of new works. The works have in common an almost cartoon-like style and ironic point of view, often juxtaposing childlike drawings with violent, sexual or disturbing situations, but each artist also holds tight to a personal style. A must-have for collectors of Dzama's work.
Animals with Sharpies
Paintings by two of Canada's most influential contemporary fine artists Animals with Sharpies is a collection of paintings with hand-lettered texts. In each painting, Michael Dumontier and Neil Farber have depicted an animal holding a Sharpie, ostensibly writing a message. These messages are varied in nature: political and religious tracts, confessions, recipes, arithmetic problems, and more. Above all, these paintings are funny, but they are also startlingly poignant and jarring for the humanness of the suffering and longing depicted in these animals' simple words. Dumontier and Farber, two of the founding members of the highly influential art collective the Royal Art Lodge, have been colla...
Library
Two of Canada’s most famous visual artists take on the book medium in their own hilarious way Library is a collection of paintings by two of Canada’s most influential contemporary artists, Michael Dumontier and Neil Farber. From the simple premise of the book title comes a series of images that are laugh-out-loud funny. A collection of book covers adorned with titles painted in simple handwritten fonts are displayed on brightly colored hardboard. Each book forms part of an ongoing series Dumontier and Farber started in 2009. In Dumontier and Farber’s Library, titles like I Lost the Human Race, Change Your Relationship to Your Unchangeable Past, and I Have a Medical Condition That Makes...
Royal Book Lodge
After more than 30 years of activity by the Royal Book Lodge (RBL), renowned art historian John C. Welchman provides the first study of this project that generated a loose network of international artists. He examines the history and artistic practices of RBL?s collaborations, which produced a variety of intermedial experiments around the artist?s books, including photography, ceramics, writing, and publications. Against the backdrop of the diverse cultural and political geographies of those involved, narratives of migration and travels around the world ? some artistically inspired ? unfold in the volume. Welchman takes up central themes of RBL, such as biographical construction, fiction, an...
Constructive Abandonment
From two of the founding members of the influential collective, the Royal Art Lodge Constructive Abandonment is a series of small paintings featuring surreal vignettes with animals and children weighed down by the pressures of life. With absurdly comedic interactions, the text varies from straightforward to even more abstract and nonsensical than the images that it accompanies. The paintings reference child's play or literature and some are seemingly without reference, completely untethered. Michael Dumontier and Neil Farber are founding members of the Royal Art Lodge. Since the dissolution of the influential Winnipeg art collective, Dumontier and Farber continue to work and create art together. Constructive Abandonment is a partnership not only of two of today's great contemporary artists but also of cohesive dissonance. Pages that could be forgettable one-liners become investigations into intellect and our ability to draw correlations between contradictory elements in a single image.
