As a teenager, growing up in rural Canada, Dzama would spend most of his time sketching. Years later, his drawings acquired the clarity and the quietness of children\u2019s books illustrations, until a closer looks reveal a disturbing world populated by grotesque characters. Its inhabitants, usually animals and human figures in costume, are drawn in pen and ink in an immediately recognizable style. Goya\u2019s etchings and the aesthetics of Dada theatre are amongst his influences.<br \/>\nPettibon, who is some 20 years Dzama\u2019s senior, comes from the very different background. His is informed by Californian punk-rock culture of the 1980s, and the ephemera generated by it, with its posters, cards, flyers, album covers and comics. Pettibon\u2019s practice mixes up low and high culture, borrowing imagery from TV, films and the news, to re-issue it through the cartoon-style figures that have become his signature.<br \/>\nWhile the beginning of Dzama\u2019s career in the art world is rooted in collaborative practice &#8211; to the point that he wouldn\u2019t even sign his earlier works &#8211; Pettibon is less used to work with other artists. Last year, however, the two met to discuss collaborative projects. Not too dissimilarly from the Surrealistic practice of collectively completing drawings known as exquisite corpse, the artists started to exchange and re-work g each other\u2019s drawings, later arranged in a limited edition zine presented at the New York Book Fair (every copy sold out within a day).<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39476\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/The-little-flowers-2016-year-of-the-rabbit-2016.jpg\" alt=\"The little flowers, 2016 and Year of the rabbit, 2016\" width=\"1300\" height=\"901\" \/> The little flowers, 2016 and Year of the rabbit, 2016<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/I-guess-we-can-always-fly-back-to-Canada-2016.jpg\" alt=\"I guess we can always fly back to Canada, 2016\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2250\" \/> I guess we can always fly back to Canada, 2016<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n\u201cLet us compare mythologies\u201d, recently opened at David Zwirner\u2019s gallery in London, includes some of those original drawings, featuring new works made following the same collaborative spirit. In these, Dzama\u2019s measured ink characters and Pettibon\u2019s comic-style combine seamlessly, retaining the clarity of the first and the immediacy of the latter. New and less recent works integrate with drawings directly executed on the walls, with rare wit.<br \/>\nThe most impressive exquisite corpse in the exhibition is the monumental work on paper \u201c<em>It is big big business (or We s\u2019port\u2026and necessitate one another, thought to brush, word to image hand in hand\u2026for the greatest interest\u2026of writing thou art)\u201d<\/em><em>. <\/em>The mural\u2019s programmatic title speaks for Pettibon\u2019s talent with words \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/2016\/04\/21\/pettibons-tweets\/\">his tweets are as good as poetry<\/a>, while the figurative programme is dense and requires some time to unfold. \u201cIt is big big business\u2026\u201d features some of Dzama\u2019s characters, surrounded by Pettibon\u2019s menacing waves and flames, in a contemporary allegory representing global warming\u2019s disastrous effects.<br \/>\nStepping in \u201cLet us compare mythologies\u201d is like penetrating Dzama and Pettibon\u2019s crowded visual worlds.
