Auckland-based artist Rozi Demant’s new painting Merry Go Round, takes a bold and imaginative leap into the surreal, using the carnival carousel as a powerful metaphor for the cyclical nature of existence.


Set against a vast, dreamlike landscape, the work features the undulating mountains and soft, sweeping skies that are signature elements of Demant’s practice, evoking the Catalan vistas that inspired surrealist giants like Salvador Dalí.


In Merry Go Round, the carousel transforms into a stage for a procession of fantastical animals—each embodying a symbolic representation of different states of being. As they circle in eternal motion, these creatures evoke themes of innocence, curiosity, entrapment, and liberation, continuing Demant’s exploration of how animal forms mirror the complexities of human experience. Vibrant birds and enchanting creatures become a visual language through which the artist addresses both the whimsical and profound aspects of life.


True to Demant’s signature style, the work is richly detailed, with metallic highlights and intricate textures that lend the piece an air of opulence and ethereal beauty. The soft surrealist references—blending reality with dreamlike fantasy—invite the viewer to reflect deeply on themes of time, identity, and personal transformation.

​

The large-scale canvas (1500 x 750mm) commands attention, with every detail meticulously rendered. Merry Go Round stands as a testament to Demant's handling of symbolism and her ability to craft visually striking, thought-provoking narratives that resonate on a deeply emotional level.
