Elizabeth Zvonar makes objects and pictures that think through metaphor and the metaphysical, often using humor and referencing art history while noticing the discrepancies between the sexes and regressive hierarchical structures. She started out in the Capilano Fine Arts Department in 1992 and did a couple of semesters in Japan at Hokkaido University of Art + Design before eventually making her way back to the west coast and graduating with a BFA from Emily Carr University in 2001. Her work has been included in the 2021 Gestalten publication The Art of Protest, Political Art + Activism. She’ll be included in the upcoming 2023 Phaidon publication Vitamin C+, their first comprehensive overview of collage. Zvonar is represented by Daniel Faria Gallery in Toronto and lives in Vancouver.
