Zinsky

Art Brokerage: Zinsky British Artist: Zinsky, now in his mid thirties, has continued with his non-conformist lifestyle and this continues to be reflected in his urban art. Very much wanting to avoid the limelight, he has now moved to Spain and spends a good deal of time traveling around the various European capitals, learning, observing and subsequently being inspired by the art, architecture and culture he comes across. Although he has never had an art lesson in his life, he has the ability to capture the moment, a skill that all artists aspire to, yet rarely achieve as successfully and easily as Zinsky does. He refuses to pencil outline his subject, instead preferring to paint directly from his imagination to the canvas. To those not in the loop, Zinsky is the acclaimed contemporary figurative artist with a recurring habit of originating and graphically manifesting truly, incredulously breath-taking likenesses of some instantly recognizable faces from popular culture. Lennon, Bono, Winehouse, Bowie, Vicious, Marley, Hendrix, Cobain and Morrison just a tantalizingly edited taste of the iconic musicians he's painted, whilst in the arena of the silver screen Zinsky has created sublime re-imaginations of the revered likes of Hepburn, Pacino, Nicholson, McQueen, Pitt, Brando and Depp to name a mere few.
