艾田·扎克 ETIENNE ZACK

Zack sees painting as a memory storage technology and a philosophical terrain. His most recent paintings are the culmination of significant years of interest in eastern and western traditions of landscape painting. The landscape series took shape when questionning himself about what a contemporary landscape could look like. The paintings draw on our fantastic technological and engineering innovations and simultaneously the fast collapse and shifts of Earth’s natural habitat. The perception of formal and emotional qualities have intentionally been disturbed in these paintings. Zack reflects on how newly altered modes of mediated existence in our lives affect how we feel, think and belong to our surroundings. These canvases are attempts at piecing back together fractured images of ourselves and our felt environment.
