Artist Feature #4: Michael Dumontier and Neil Farber

Alchemic, hypnotic and often paradoxical, Neil and Michael form a pair accustomed to inhabiting a space lying somewhere between the utterly absurd and the all too real. The paintings which sprout from their long-standing collaboration infiltrate the subconscious, their fragile equilibrium begging some concealed emotional question.

The Winnipeg-based duo began working together in 1996 as founding members of The Royal Art Lodge Collective.
