Zoe Walsh channels LA’s media richness and queer identity through digital-born, layered paintings.
Working from 3D digital models — which they build in Blender — Zoe creates screen-printed, stenciled canvases using cyan-magenta-yellow acrylics. These layered compositions explore the tension between landscape and identity, public and private. As a Los Angeles resident, their work is steeped in the city’s architectural and social histories, reflecting Zoe’s own journey of self-discovery within their queer culture.
Zoe has been shown at M+B Gallery (Los Angeles), and their work has been featured at USC Fisher Museum of Art (LA), La Maison des Arts (Malakoff, France), and Abrons Art Center (New York). In 2019, Zoe was nominated for the Emerging Artist Grant from the Rema Hort Mann Foundation and received the Al Held Foundation Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. Most recently, they were awarded a residency at Fountainhead (Miami) beginning February 2024.
