ABOUT ARTIST DEZ ZAMBRANO
David ‘DEZ’ Zambrano is an artist in the DMV area, originally from Los Angeles. DEZ has made his mark in the sneaker community as one of the best custom sneaker artists in the world. He does this for a living having worked with companies like Adidas, Under Armour, MLB, NFLPA, NBAPA, and professional athletes from almost every major sport. This does not take away that DEZ is also an incredibly diverse artist, specializing in canvas art, murals and more. His first love for art began at an early age, was cultivated at home, and exploded when he watched the classic hip hop movie Beat Street. There began a love for graffiti, urban art, bright colors and passionate statements through color and contrast. Growing up in Virginia and riding the red line to Silver Spring on the weekends to see his father, DEZ was exposed to some amazing street art. He has no formal training in art and is almost entirely self taught. When you see DEZ’s artwork you’ll immediately get a sense of emotion. Vibrant colors, dark contrast, splatters and knife strikes make up a small part of the arsenal DEZ uses to create stunning images. What can only be described as URBAN CONTEMPORARY or STREET ART, his pieces are something you need to witness in person.
DEZ’s current works are all across the spectrum. Some pieces are centered around a mix of traditional layer building using knife and brush techniques accompanied by contemporary elements such as airbrush and spray paint. Combining the old world with the new create impactful, stunning pieces using well-known, popular subjects, i.e., actors, models, and superstars. The artwork is meant to ‘move’ and ‘jump’ off the canvas. Another current focus is a form of pop art. These works include the use of traditional superheroes combined with popular modern fashion symbols in a form of mockery of the importance placed in today’s social media-driven ‘hype’. The style is clean and to the point. The look is very pop, a comic strip. But the message is clear.
