Artist's Statement:
I cannot walk past a beautiful stone, or a gnarled and weathered piece of wood without picking it up, holding it, wanting to keep it. I started making my driftwood constructions as a way to make a place for these found treasures. To somehow create some order, or purpose, for these naturally worn, softened, nomadic bits of wood; to bring them home. For many years I built architectural models and making shadow boxes is similar. I love the fine meditative work of arranging the pieces, choosing the right color, and floating it in space. I attempt to draw attention to the uniqueness of each piece of driftwood, evoking the sea and the sky that formed them, without detracting from their inherent beauty.
I work in a studio in New York City, and in most of my work I bring the outdoors, in. Water, wind, leaves, pine needles, furry creatures, swimmers, feathers, fish, nudes, are recurring subjects that inspire me.

GS06, 3D Wall Sculpture, Geometric Abstract Multicolor
By Zach Touchon
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
This artwork is part of a series called "Geometric Sculpture" and is a unique 3D sculpture that features a variety of vibrant colors including yellow, orange, red, blue, dark blue, and black. The sculpture is abstract in nature and showcases geometric shapes that add actual depth and space to the piece, making it visually striking and aesthetically pleasing to the viewer.
Zach Touchon has expressed a desire to step outside the traditional format and focus on movement and 3D effects. As a result, the sculpture creates shadows that further enhance the 3D effect, making the piece truly dynamic and engaging. Touchon has also mentioned his goal to create even larger pieces in the future, pushing the boundaries of the series and the medium itself.
Overall, this artwork is a visually stunning and unique addition to the "Geometric Sculpture" series, showcasing the artist's dedication to creating pieces that challenge traditional art forms and create a sense of depth and movement.
