Michael Zachary uses simple, modular marks in only four different colors to create drawings that are much more complex than the sum of their parts. He is interested in our relationship to technology and machines, in the possibility that a human being is in fact a complicated machine that uses other machines, and in the ways that our inherited conceptions (and misconceptions) about what is natural and what is artifice shape us. Michael maintains a studio in East Boston and is Assistant Professor of Art at Simmons University in Boston. He received his MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and is a recipient of support from The Berkshire-Taconic Foundation’s Artist Resource Trust, The Massachusetts Cultural Council, Boston University’s Blanche Coleman Trust, Mass MoCA's Assets for Artists Grant, and The Surdna Foundation. His work has been featured at The Portland (Maine) Museum of Art, Burren College of Art (Ireland), Frappant e.V. (Germany), Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Wheaton College, Rhode Island College, Second Street Gallery (Virginia), Lux Eros Gallery (Los Angeles), Fountain (Brooklyn), European Gallery (Boston), Area Gallery (Boston), Shelter in Place Gallery (Boston) and at Cost Annex (Boston).
