ZACHARY LASSEN
Zachary Lassen is a Saint Louis-based oil painter focused primarily on portraiture. He graduated from Webster University, where he majored in animation and figure drawing. Here, he discovered his fascination with portraits and character-focused art. He favors impressionistic methods of painting and capturing moments of people in their own worlds, unquestioning their realities that resemble our own.
Lassen has been using his love of paint to depict people in worlds that feel familiar but ambiguous. He’d like for the viewer to look at the paintings as if they were a memory - faded, fuzzy, and possibly untruthful. Keeping it a blur except for the important parts.
