Zach Atticus received his Bachelor of Design in 2015 from the Ontario College of Art and Design University majoring in illustration.

Zach’s evocative oil paintings depict quiet Toronto side streets and lamplit scenes that are unmistakably nondescript yet imbued with the tension that arises from solitary late- night strolls. They reflect the candid nature of his photography rather than planned photographs.

He has mastered the depiction of artificial luminescence as seen through a camera lens, complete with flare as well as “ghosting”. The blue dot is a type of “light artifact” that is the shape of the lens being reflected into the record of the photograph and his paintings. It is also symptomatic of iPhone lenses as well.
