About the speaker
Zach Van Horn is the speaker for our October meeting. Below are his thoughts on his art.
“My paintings explore how our internal programming—shaped by genetics and memories—affects the way we perceive the world. My layered compositions merge two realities through symmetrical, rippling lines. I begin by painting on paper, which I then cut and reassemble multiple times to create a pixelated mosaic. After masking out the symmetrical lines, I paint the representational imagery and then finally sand the surface. The pixelated mosaic symbolizes our internal narratives, while the representational imagery reflects the external world. The interplay of colors and textures between these layers illustrates how perception and personal history continuously shift and blend over time. Through these layered compositions, I invite viewers to reflect on the dynamic relationship between their own internal stories and the external world they encounter daily.”
Zach grew up in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. He received his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Drawing and Painting from The Ohio State University in 2013 and he received his Masters in Fine Arts from The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 2018. Zach shows his work frequently throughout Ohio and he has shown in Philadelphia and New York City. Zach currently lives and works in Columbus, Ohio with his cat Genevieve.
