About the Artwork:

“I’ve been working on a ‘portrait of the artist’ series for the past couple of years. It began initially with writers, several years ago, and has more recently become a growing series of painters whose works have greatly influenced my own work and ideas. As a young art student, I experienced an almost immediate connection with Goya’s etchings and drawings which seemed so whimsically grotesque. His work is prolific and the emotional impact of his dark paintings are something that I reflect on often.” – 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.”
