Zachari Logan's The Moon Swept Down is currently on view at Paul Petro Contemporary Art.
Canadian artist Zachari Logan works mainly with large-scale drawing, ceramics and installation practices, evolving a visual language that explores the intersections between identity, memory and place. Employing a strategy of visual quotation, mined from place and experience, Logan re-wilds his body as a queer embodiment of nature, engaging ideas of beauty, mortality, empirical explorations of landscape, and overlapping art-historic motifs that underline a fundamental interconnection of the human as nature. Logan has exhibited widely throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Logan’s work can be found in many private and public collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Ontario, Remai Modern, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Gardiner Museum, Peabody Essex Museum, Leslie-Lohman Museum, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, 21cMuseums Hotel Collection and Fondazione Thetis, and corporate collections including RBC and Scotiabank.
As an extension of his studio practice, Logan has attended many residencies; including Vienna's Museums Quartier MQ21 Program, the International Studio & Curatorial Program in Brooklyn, Wave Hill Botanical Gardens Winter Workspace Program in the Bronx and Little Bird Artist Residency in rural Bulgaria. Logan was artist in residence at the Tom Thomson Shack at the McMichael Gallery in 2017, a commission of the Ontario Government to commemorate the centenary of Tom Thomson’s death. In 2021 Logan was the Koerner Artist in Residence at Queens University. Logan has worked collaboratively with several celebrated artists, including Ross Bleckner and Sophie Calle and his work has been featured in many publications worldwide, including BBC Culture, The Boston Globe, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Border Crossings, and Hyperallergic to name a few. In September 2025 Logan opened Human Landscapes at Fondazione Marchesani in Venice, Italy.
