Tara Zanzig: EGO

Tara Zanzig debuts a recent series of gritty analog quality works on canvas and paper whose style references the 1990s’ era of photocopied punk flyers and zines. Her pieces for this exhibition draw inspiration from psychological effects related to modern media’s presence and function. This work explores relevant topics including identity, perception, and value.  

Tara Zanzig is a Chicago based, mixed media artist who work focuses on the process of hand created and pulled screen print. With a Pop influence and punk aesthetic, her work seeks meaning in a commercially driven society through the exploration of its icons & idols. She received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute.

Tara currently lives in Chicago. When she is not working in her studio she teaches screen printing at Spudnik Press. Her work has appeared in the Rockford Art Museum, The Newberry Library in Chicago, The Wabash Arts Corridor Project and is in numerous private collections
