Zoa Ace"Memory Lane", Surrealist Oil w/ Female Figure, Wolves, and Symbolic Imagery2024
2024
About the Item
Zoa Ace’s “Memory Lane” is a vivid and whimsical oil on canvas measuring 32 x 36 inches, unframed but ready to hang. Painted in 2024, this surrealist composition captures the spirit of nostalgia through a dreamlike collection of imagery that includes a golden-haired woman, a pair of howling wolves beneath a full moon, a swan, a street sign labeled "Memory Lane," and a cascade of fantastical elements like a dripping clock, floating birdhouse, seashells, dice, and octopus tentacles.
The artist’s use of curving lines, exaggerated proportions, and vibrant color fields creates a narrative space that blurs memory and fantasy. Each object, a fish swimming through waves, a melting clock draped over a branch, a lone red high heel, feels like a recovered artifact from the subconscious. The female figure, poised with quiet confidence and a flower in hand, anchors the scene, while surrounding elements evoke emotion, whimsy, and reflection.
This piece is a quintessential example of Zoa Ace’s imaginative storytelling style, blending symbolism, surrealism, and personal mythology. The surface is rich in texture, and the composition is filled with layered forms that reward close viewing.
Offered unframed but with clean, gallery-wrapped edges, this work is ready to install as-is or can be framed to suit your space. It remains in excellent condition. For collectors seeking a surrealist painting that invites interpretation and conversation, “Memory Lane” is a vibrant and distinctive addition.
Shipping in a tube is available for this piece. Please contact us for a quote.

Zoa Ace
Zoa Ace was born in Rockford, Illinois, in the 20th century. She is influenced by Max Beckman (1884–1950), who was a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor and writer. Although he is classified as an Expressionist artist, he rejected both the term and the movement. Zoa's images are subconsciously manifested into a juxtaposition of themes and figures in motion.
