About the Artwork:
“This piece is from a series of ‘Smile’ portraits that I’ve been working on for the past couple of years. I’ve been exploring ways to paint the smile and have been fascinated with the subtleties of expression. I’ve been exploring adding and removing elements for re-contextualization that changes the source subject/s into something often sad, sinister or simply odd.” – 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.”
