Zane York coaxes and cajoles with a bit of humor which belies a deeper sensitivity. His eye-catching subjects never fail to cause a double-take. In our age of nearly constant visual stimuli and sensationalism, York musters astonishment, fascination and draws us deeper to notice subtleties which appear hidden to the glance but fully revealed to those who really see. York’s finely detailed renderings take deliberate liberties with reality by magnifying the everyday —a cat, a flower, an insect, dentures— and in the process, convince us that his quirky and bizarre juxtapositions are invitations to lose oneself in the infiniteness of the human condition. York’s aesthetic rigor shows the possibilities of a new perspective and paves a way for greater freedom.
