Zachary Brown
Artist Statement
Abstract painting is truly my passion. For me, the act of painting is success. Rather than sales or prestige, creation is my goal.
Sometimes I will plan the entirety of a piece before I begin while other times the direction will be totally fluid and won’t be known to me until I am complete. I predominately use acrylic paint and will frequently use unconventional media for accent or texture.
My current body of work is my escape. I paint as a therapy of sorts; it helps me feel like I belong on Earth. Abstract painting allows me to relieve the swelling in my subconscious.
love your paintings, your goal and colors. all gorgeous. i am a process painter – my fingers swell and then it flows and recedes.

Do you consider your work Abstract or Abstract Expressionism?

I would place myself more in a broader non-objective category. I usually paint purely abstract but often recognizable forms, however subtle, will make their way though to the finished product.
