ZANE PRATER - SKETCHES
BOOK + PRINT · CP036 · 2022
SKETCHES, compiles a selection of drawings and paintings created over the course of 2021 into a limited-edition art book.
The books replicate the look, feel, and intimacy of Zane’s original sketchbooks drawing the viewer deeper into the artist’s process and visual language. Each hand-bound hard-covered book is painted directly by the artist resulting in an edition of completely unique art objects.
Accompanying each book is a medium-format fine-art print that elaborates upon the imagery within the sketchbooks. Printed at 50,0 x 70,0cm on 300gsm textured fine-art paper and signed by the artist these prints stand alone as artworks in themselves.
Zane Prater is a visual artist originally from Denver, Colorado. Having trained as a classical figurative painter at the Barcelona Academy of Art he works primarily with drawing and painting while also creating land-based installations and large-scale public murals.
His work weaves together botanical illustration, visionary art, portraiture, and design in order to speak to the nature of our relationship with the richly layered tapestry of the natural world. His imagery engages with the mythopoetic narratives that we hold regarding our individual and collective roles in the landscapes that we inhabit, seeking to draw connections and find harmonies between the urban and the organic.
