About the Artwork:
“I’ve been working on a series of ‘smile’ portraits for the past couple of years. With various subjects, I’ve been exploring ways to decontextualize a smile from an image and reframe it using my painting style. I have also been experimenting with ways to reassemble fragmented parts of photos into somewhat ghoulish and vaguely archetypal images.” – Zach Mendoza

(Artist Bio)
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.”
