About the Artwork:
“I reworked this one a bit. It began as a collection of social media personalities but eventually morphed into an amalgam of political characters. I grabbed an ear, a nose, a forehead and a collection of smiles from various places and produced this ghoulish likeness that seemed apt for this archetype.” – 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.”
