Kevin Zucker

Kevin Zucker was born in New York City and continues to live and work there today. Zucker’s paintings and works on paper explore systems for archiving, storage and display, often taking place on the internet. Zucker presents us with a visual language that is simultaneously real and artificial, hand-made and mechanical, that takes place in the past, present and future – all coming together and falling apart at the same time. . The idea of a painting as a space for the collection, archiving, curation, display, and storage of existing information, rather than as a zone for creation or expression, has been central to Zucker’s recent work. While the role of the hand is consciously minimized in these pieces, painterly accidents and pencil drawing remain present alongside the silkscreen and digital printing techniques employed. Kevin Zucker was born 1976 and received degrees from RISD (BFA) and Columbia University (MFA); his recent solo exhibitions include Greenberg Van Doren, NY, Linn Luehn, Cologne, and Arario, Beijing.
