A blurb from the artist about this exhibit: "It seems that humanity creates symbolic images during moments of collective crisis. The modern anxieties surrounding artificial intelligence, immigration, war, climate collapse, and social fragmentation have once again brought UFO imagery into the public imagination. The question is whether these symbols represent salvation or destruction?" -Zach Brown

Zach Brown's paintings combine traditional techniques and materials with formal design. The work puts the illusion of representational painting against the reality of the material and the painting as an object. This duality is also seen in the mixing of contemporary and ancient subject matter found in his work. The visual themes focus on the subjects of history, myth, and mortality. Zach Brown was born and raised in the small town of Mars Pennsylvania. After high school he attended the Rhode Island School of Design where he received his BFA. Zach went on to earn his MFA from the New York Academy of Art. After school Zach was awarded the Eric Fischl residency where he continued to develop his studio practice. He currently lives and works in Pittsburgh where he runs The School House art space.
