SUMMARY:A Zachary Armstrong Curatorial Project
DESCRIPTION:Intricate. Intimate. From the heart. The Co presents the reveal of a new project by Zachary Armstrong—an enigmatic force whose work features the ritualistic repetition of symbols and motifs rooted in recollections of his childhood and family\, of people and places\, of rural Midwest Americana. While the details remain under wraps\, we promise a love letter to technical innovation\, imagination and memory as a means of connecting. Armstrong lives and works in Dayton\, Ohio. Recent solo exhibitions include GNYP Gallery\, Antwerp\, Belgium (2023); Tilton Gallery\, New York\, NY (2022\, 2018\, 2016); Faurschou Foundation\, New York\, NY/Beijing\, China (2022\, 2021); and The Contemporary\, Dayton\, OH (2021); among others.
