Zinsky
Pop culture icons in paint, print and advertising
Zinsky was born in Bristol in 1977. After living in Barcelona, Edinburgh and Brighton, he settled in Segovia, Spain, in 2014, where he still paints.
His breakout solo show in London in 2012 introduced collectors to his style. His pieces now hang in galleries and private collections around the world.
He paints the figures who shape modern myth: pop stars, screen legends, musicians and matinee idols. He borrows the visual language of advertising and packaging to show how media shapes our heroes, then layers paint and texture back on top to reclaim them as fine art.
The result is portraiture that feels alive on the wall: bold, graphic and full of detail, with neon color set against scratched surfaces and fragments of text. His work sits between street art and fine art.
