JEFF ZILM: 'THE' FEATURE

JEFF ZILM

Jeff Zilm is featured in the most recent edition of THE 'MAGAZINE OF AND FOR THE ARTS'. The issue includes a thorough interview with Zilm, offering a morsel of insight into his process, readers learn why the films he utilizes are primarily comedies, and among other things, Zilm is flattered by an overzealous film fanatic that threatens to destroy his paintings.

"Mr Zilm's work is conceptually layered. Paintings that prima facie seem simply to be a replay of yester-century's ruminative abstraction are actually so many flat mausolea of film... The somber grisalle of abstraction of the five large paintings that are the center of Jeff Zilm: 7023629730 belie the combination of magic and humor that is the true crux of the show." -writes Charrissa Terranova (Director of University of Dallas Artist Residency Program 'Central Trak' & Professor of Aesthetic Studies) in her review of Zilm's recent exhibition at Marty Walker Gallery '7023629730' -also in this issue of THE.
