For the month of March, the Frank Ratchye Project Space at Root Division will be showcasing Studio Artist Zach Searcy's stimulating paintings. Concerned with class difference, accessibility, exclusivity, and societal complacency, Searcy's work challenges viewers to engage in critical self-reflection. The artist has cleverly repurposed material objects of value working them into frames, canvases, and embellishments for his skillful depictions. The incorporation of nostalgic cartoon images, in conjunction with Searcy's masterly warping of his paintings' structure, reinforces a playful yet somber call to action.
