Mirana Zuger
Roger, "Walter" and Me
Showing May 5 - 29, 2010
In her newest series of paintings, Zuger refers to her childhood drawings as source material for the imagery interposed into the abstract fields and biomorphic forms on her canvases. The cartoon-like drawn images subtly allude to their source, but are reinterpreted by a mature awareness of contemporary painting strategies.
- Anna Frlan
The source drawings recount stories and memories of my life at age 6, states Zuger. They are a prime start, very honest and
ambitious. The painting then becomes very deliberate.Narratives bleed together, weave, and sometimes force their way into the composition. Soaked, the canvas preserves truth- painting as archive. Once the tale is stitched inside, I move to the next, taking what I am learning as a painter by painting everyday to create a vocabulary that is singularly my own.
BIO
Mirana Zuger graduated with distinction from Montréal’s Concordia University Fine Arts Program, where she studied abstract painting with Françoise Sullivan. She has taken part in several solo and group exhibitions in Ottawa, Montréal and Toronto. In 2007 she was invited to Croatia as an artist-in-residence where she was very well received by galleries, critics and media, culminating in three exhibitions. Her work is included in private and public collections in Canada, the United States and Europe. Zuger was twice short-listed for the Canada-wide RBC Painting Competition (Eastern Region 2007 and 2009). Zuger lives and works in Montréal.
