Domingo Zapata

Domingo Zapata has built a body of work, which varies significantly in motif, though consistently explores themes of sexuality, opulence, and vitality in his signature style. In this distinctive hand, Zapata layers fantasy and reality, luring the viewer into his potent, cosmically beautiful world. Known for his signature "Polo" series, which first gained him critical acclaim, more recent work focuses on themes including his native Spanish culture, American Pop icons, and the state of the contemporary practice. Zapata produces Neo-Expressionist paintings as well as sculpture, painting in both oil and acrylic, and often incorporating mixed-media, collage and graffiti.

Zapata has shown with a number of galleries and fairs, including C24 Gallery, New York, Galleria Gallo Gallina MKT, Mexico City, Lab Art Gallery, Los Angeles CA. and 55th Venice Biennale, Palazzo da Mula, Venice, among others. Commissions include a panel for the newly restored Colosseum in Rome as well as the lobby of the landmark Plaza Hotel in New York.
