Franklin Bowles Gallery is pleased to present this latest collection of paintings from Zane York (American, b. 1978). Zane deftly walks the line between playfulness and profundity. His paintings imbue seemingly quotidian scenes with elements of the fantastical and unreal, calling into question the distinction between the grotesque and beautiful, the real and artificial, and death and Life. It is in the tenuous state of existence that Zane sees vitality; in the absurd proposal of being, there is always beauty to found.
