Painter
Zac Bendrick
Zac’s work investigates the layered nature of identity through expressive, multi-faceted portraiture. Each figure is composed of overlapping faces, fragmented gestures, and vibrant color palettes that reflect a shifting inner life. These portraits are not literal depictions but imagined personas—composite reflections of emotional states, memories, and subconscious impressions. The intuitive brushwork and bold use of color create a sense of psychological motion, inviting viewers to engage with the fluidity of selfhood. His paintings blur the line between abstraction and figuration, offering a visceral exploration of the complexities that reside within a single individual.

Inspiration
In his paintings, Zac uses the nose and eyes as an anchor point for his pieces. Giving the viewer a jumping off point to the rest of the composition. Experimenting with expressionism his art conveys what he has experienced and imagines how others would feel in the moment. With bold strokes of paint and large sections of colors, these people he has created take on a life of their own within the viewers imagination. With the expressive voice of a paint and brush you can see the dramatic and emotional themes that are prominent throughout all his works. Click image for full view
