Zachari Logan

Zachari Logan (born 1980 Saskatoon)[1] is a Canadian visual artist working in drawing, ceramics and related installation practices. Logan is known for his monumentally-scaled pastel drawings and intimate blue and red pencil drawings on Mylar depicting flora, wildlife and figures.[2] His work intersects themes of selfhood, sexuality, queerness and memory with a focus on human relationships with the natural world.[3] He often makes historical art references to artists and particular works of art, most notably the 18th century artist Mary Delany, 16th century Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo, and 15th century Unicorn Tapestries.[4] Logan attended the University of Saskatchewan.[1] In 2014 Logan received the Lieutenant Governor's Arts Award for "emerging artist".[5] In 2021 his artist's book, A Natural History of Unnatural Things, was published by the Radiant Press.[6]

In addition, he was also commissioned to create a drawing inspired by Thomson that would remain in McMichael's permanent collection. The result, titled, Witness, the Near Shore from Eunuch Tapestries (for Tom), was included in a subsequent exhibition at MCAC titled, Passion Over Reason: Tom Thomson and Joyce Weiland.[8]
