Zinsky

Zinsky's remarkable portraits capture the essence of his subject in a way that sets his work apart from that of his contemporaries. In a world where the art of the icon is in such great demand, he brings something new and exciting to this hugely popular genre.

The confidence and skill Zinsky demonstrates within his compositions combines with the speed and spontaneity with which he works, demonstrating a raw talent that iscompletely natural.

A reclusive artist, Zinsky was born and brought up inthe UK but now lives in Barcelona. Spending time in a city famous for its architecture, art and culture has had a profound impact on his work, and he has absorbed influences and ideas from his surroundings. A definite non-conformist, it is the art of the streets and the bohemian fringes that he admires rather than the more officially sanctioned establishment work, yet ironically the brilliance of his own oil paintings would make them look at home in the most formal of public galleries.

The staggeringly detailed portrayals of his celebrity subjects has won Zinsky a dedicated following and their launch into the UK has already made a massive impact.
