“I do not paint things as they appear at the surface, but rather what lies beneath.”

North Carolina based artist Zac Trainor works with concepts and imagery that explore the alternate realities of our existence. Ghostly, layered, + nostalgic: There’s a confident loneliness that lends the viewer to self reflection, evoking a meditation on both the beautiful and harsh realities of this world, and the mystery or defeat of what may lie beyond. Each work is meant as a dialogue with the past, present, and future, not at separate instances, but rather all moments occurring at once.
