About the Artwork:
“I’m working on a series of works that reference art historical imagery a bit more. Looking through endless portraits over the years in textbooks and in museums, has made my impression of vast periods of art become simply a blur of drapery, tapestry and other delicate things. This particular image became a hollowed-out creature made of clothes that are slowly being eaten by moths.” – Zach Mendoza

After graduating with honors from Art Center College of design in 2015, Zach’s exhibition history has continued to grow throughout the United States. His work has been featured in a number of galleries and in national publications including New American Paintings and Creative Quarterly among others. He has participated in numerous group shows and a number of solo shows as well. Of his work, Zach says “It is often a mishmash of ideas, images, half-truths and afterimages that become almost ghoulish amalgams of the sum of their parts. The process of creating, destroying, and then reassembling the ruins is a regular aspect of my work.”
