Eric Zener Mixed Media
American, b. 1966
Eric Zener is a self-taught Photorealist artist recognized for his figure paintings of lone subjects often submerged in swimming pools.
Zener employs water as a metaphorical tool to express renewal and personal transformation. It speaks to the collective desire in all of us to retreat from the noise of the world, challenging the shallow, surface-level questions and concerns that frame our daily lives. Additionally, Zener works across a broad spectrum of materials, including paint, silver leaf, and resin, to create texture, depth, and dimensionality in his work.
Zener’s work has been exhibited in the United States, and internationally, for over 25 years. His solo exhibition history has largely been with his long-standing dealers in San Francisco and New York. Additionally, Zener has had numerous shows in Asia, Australia and Europe. Eric’s work has been featured and reviewed extensively in art magazines and other publications. Apart from gallery representation his work has also been included in museum shows and international residency programs.

BLOOMING OASIS - Mixed Media / Contemporary Beach Scene / High Color
By Eric Zener
Located in New York, NY
Depicts a sandy beach populated with swimmers and sunbathers.
Mixed media artwork by Eric Zener. Employing a multi-layered materials process, Zener has combined hand gilding, resin pours, photography, and oil or ink printing, achieving a depth and vibrancy not possible when using oils on canvas. These pieces will be the last of their kind available to the public, since the technical means by which they were produced is no longer existent.
Zener has characteristically approached his work with an eye to articulating enigmatic human encounters with life challenges. Expanses of water, and occasionally sky, have served as his backdrop, which he has peopled with swimmers and divers and walkers of tightropes. On occasion even the swooping slides of water parks...

Heart's Arms
By Robert Mars
Located in Napa, CA
Robert Mars’ graphic compositions and rich colors provide an ideal medium in which to explore his fascination with the Golden Age of American popular culture and the icons of the 1950’s and 60’s. Drawing inspiration from the near-mythical fame that surrounded celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn before the instant and all-encompassing presence of the internet, Mars’ daring approach creates paintings with a nostalgic yet innovative vintage quality.
Mars begins by defining borders and background planes of color with sheets of brown paper and then proceeds to layer paint and vintage paper ephemera...
