ARTIST PROFILE: MARCO ZAMORA

Marco Zamora was born and currently lives and works in Pomona, California. In 2004 he graduated from California Institute of the Arts, with a Bachelor of Fine Art. Using the paintbrush and pen to draw, Marco develops imagery about the urban landscape and the people that inhabit it. Producing a richly complex and experimental image, Marco goes into a neighborhood and shoots a spot, recontectualizing and collaging figures to create each paintings identity. City life, his culture, color/scale experimentation, and the working class have influenced his artwork. Splitting his time between painting and apparel design, Marco's recent work can be seen in a variety of Van's ads and collaboration projects as well as galleries up and down the west coast.



"Horror Business" will the fourth or fifth time that Marco has shown his work at Tradition. I am a big fan of his work, and I personally own 4 of his pieces. Marco also designed a limited edition t-shirt for Tradition (shown below) that we will be releasing the night of the show!
