Marcel Dzama and Raymond Pettibon at the David Zwirner Gallery.

As part of our gallery visits day on the 8th October 2016, we visited the David Zwirner Gallery to see the exhibition titled Let us compare mythologies by Marcel Dzama and Raymond Pettibon.

This exhibition caught my attention the most out of all the exhibitions we had visited that day, because of its diverse, differentiated way of it being presented. It wasn’t presented like your box standard gallery, with nicely framed paintings on white walls and a minimalist aesthetic - Instead this exhibition was raw and unfiltered, the artwork was painted directly onto the gallery walls or large sheets of paper which were used to completely cover the sides of the room.
