This residency at The Invisible Dog will allow 2Fik to work on his new artistic series that will be pushing forward his practice as he’ll be focusing on the relationship he has with his own creative process and artworks. After 18 years of giving himself fully to his art, should this relationship take a new format? The new series will try to answer that question.
2Fik is a multidisciplinary artist known for embodying multiple, unique characters.
Through his social and political works, 2Fik creates lives for characters who almost seem real, whose stories, personalities, and interests are rooted in our world. Each of his creations are conceived in a voyeuristic way that pushes the spectator to wonder what exists beyond the scope of the work. Each character in this humorous and interpretative world becomes a reflection of our society.
Québécois by adoption, French by birth, and Moroccan by origin, 2Fik stages his characters much in the manner of a soap opera/reality show, thus creating a dialogue between reality and fiction that provokes a reflection on our society and our place in it. A pioneer in his field with a nearly twenty-year career, he masters the art of caricature and encourages the reflection on universality, equality between men and women, and the acceptance of oneself as a unique being.
