Zhivago Duncan: Never But Always

Meem Gallery present a solo exhibition by Zhivago Duncan, entitled ” Never But Always”.

Zhivago Duncan is a multi-media artist who strives to challenge his artistic practice by testing his creative control. By diversifying his materials, he utilizes both traditional and non-traditional media, resulting in an oeuvre that includes large-scale site-specific installation, printmaking and photography, performance art, sculpture and painting. In this new body of work, Duncan uses gold and linen, combining these materials with his technique of silkscreen to create a truly unique series of works. The combination of different materials itself is reflected in the subject matter, where Islamic geometry are super imposed with a guillotine in one piece, to Spiderman in the next. Being a multi-media artist  gives Duncan the freedom to let his innate intellectual curiosity guide his relationship with the world around him. Zhivago Duncan has exhibited with Contemporary Fine Arts berlin, The  Saatchi  Gallery  London, Frederick Snitzer Gallery Miami,  The Barjeel Foundation Sharjah, Von der Heydt-Museum, Wuppertal, Germany.  He has works in the Saatchi Collection and the Perez Art Museum Miami. In 2012 Duncan received the XLVIII Premio internazional Le Muse, Florence.
