Zio Ziegler: Primitive, Bizaare, Theatrically Punchy in San Francisco

Californian artist Zio Ziegler has a number of murals throughout San Francisco and Los Angeles – anthropomorphic figures and animals full of pattern, caught mid-action and almost exclusively in black and white.  Primitive, bizaare, and theatrically punchy, the illustrative work by this RISD grad has been translated across all sorts of surfaces like hats, sweatshirts, tee-shirts, sneakers, corporate offices and luxury cars over the last decade, and his fine art work is landing in many collections.  Currently enjoying his first European solo exhibit at Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea Via Solferino in Milan, he is still doing big murals back home like this new one in the Hayes Valley district of San Francisco.

Thanks to Gareth Gooch, who organized this wall for Ziegler and who shares with BSA readers his photos of the installation.
