Marcel Dzama and Raymond Pettibon are among ten artists whose work is included in Hand Drawn Action Packed at The Hunterian, Glasgow. The exhibition travels to Scotland following presentations at St. Albans Museum + Gallery and Wolverhampton Art Gallery. “Painter, draughtsman, and filmmaker Marcel Dzama creates ink and watercolor drawings of fantastical characters enacting bizarre, surreal scenarios,” an Artsy video feature explains, adding that the artist "admits a personal aversion to technology’s rapid advance in our lives and embraces tradition, creating intimate works on paper inspired by the work of William Blake and Francisco de Goya, among others." Pettibon is well known for prolific drawings embracing both high and low culture. The two artists are longtime friends and have collaborated on a number of drawings together, some of which have been made into limited-edition zines.

These works were recently shown at David Zwirner in Hong Kong. Also among the works on view at Chi K11 is Murillo’s room-sized installation The Institute of Reconciliation (2014–), an ongoing project that profoundly extends the artist’s engagement with the notion of belonging across different cultures.
