Dave Zarick:

Dave Zarick was born in San Francisco in 1956. He attended San Jose State University. His work is included in the Long Beach Museum of Art, and multiple private collections. He died in 2015. This is the first show of his work in five years. Zarick described his work as “subconscious realism.” His paintings represent landscapes of the psyche, and objects in his paintings can be seen as archetypes taken directly from the collective unconscious. Zarick was an archetype in his own right: artist as rugged individualist, masculine and sensitive. He did not talk about his work.
