Artist Spotlight: Zach Zono

Born in 1999 in Cape Town and now based in London, Zono’s practice sits at the intersection of memory, abstraction, and emotional intuition. His large-scale paintings are defined by vibrant colour palettes, layered textures, and instinctive gestures, works that feel both deeply personal and expansively universal. Each canvas operates as a meditation on time, drawing from his South African roots while absorbing the pace and tension of life abroad .

Internationally Recognised

Having exhibited internationally in cities such as London, Madrid, Beijing, Copenhagen, Bangkok, Mexico City, and previously Cape Town, Zono has steadily built a reputation for work that invites reflection rather than instruction. His paintings blur past and present, asking viewers to sit with feeling rather than search for certainty.


The Gravity of a Dreams Exhibition

The Gravity of a Dream signals more than just another stop on Zono’s exhibition trail, it represents a homecoming of thought and practice. Presented through THE TAGLI in collaboration with Fred Levine, the exhibition brings together works that explore emotional weight, transition, and the quiet pull of memory, themes that resonate deeply within the South African context.

At a moment when South African artists continue to shape conversations on the global stage, Zono’s return offers Cape Town audiences the opportunity to engage with an artist whose language has been sharpened internationally but remains grounded in origin.
