b. 1993 Denver, CO
Zane Prater is a visual artist originally from Denver, Colorado. Having trained as a classical figurative painter at the Barcelona Academy of Art he works primarily with drawing and painting while also creating land-based installations and large-scale public murals.
His work weaves together botanical illustration, visionary art, portraiture, and design in order to speak to the nature of our relationship with the richly layered tapestry of the natural world. His imagery engages with the mythopoetic narratives that we hold regarding our individual and collective roles in the landscapes that we inhabit, seeking to draw connections and find harmonies between the urban and the organic.
