At
the intersection of art and the urban landscape, Ernest ‘Zach’ Zacharevic conveys
the culture and community of a place, adding artistic interventions to different
cities across the world. The Lithuanian-born artist blends fine art techniques
with a passion for public space, working in the mediums of oil paint, stencil,
spray, and sculpture to communicate clever and complex concepts. Using building
façades, storefronts and weathered walls as an artistic arena, Zacharevic
engages with the urban fabric by creating site-specific interactions between
his artworks and their host location, with ideas arising in spontaneous
response to the environment. Traversing both outdoor locales and gallery
spaces, Zacharevic’s dynamic compositions impart introspective ideas on
culture, childhood and the characteristics of a community.
