“Since the late 1990s, Marcel Dzama has populated his ink-and-watercolor drawings with sundry dismemberments and wounds accomplished by swords, knives, arrows, guns, bats, and the occasional mace; the malevolent images may be inspired by hellish doings, but this is hell as circus ring or costume ball. His is a fun-house hell where sinners are condemned to an eternity of enigma.”

“The second in publisher David Zwirner’s Seeing Shakespeare series, the impeccable coupling of A MidSummer Night’s Dream with contemporary Canadian artist Marcel Dazma makes for a particularly magical outcome. Dazma’s vibrant watercolors of polkadot-laden fairies donning butterfly wings, an ever-present moon with a coy smile, and human-animal fusions dance off the page, portraying a Shakespearean classic anew.”
