Ron Zakrin Exhibition

From: 323 East

Ron Zakrin has been a creative force in Detroit's artistic community since the mid-nineties - a period when the city was riding the crest of an electronic music wave then sweeping the world. His earliest paintings were meant to complement both that music and his own personal contributions as a recording artist (under the name Goudron); since that time his canvases have become more ambitious and are recognized nationally for both their originality and their (frequently) haunting savagery. Zakrin is an artist with a deep desire to probe deeply beneath the skin - and his skills are as much "surgical" as they are aesthetic.

Zakrin is a special guest artist conducting an exhibition this weekend hosted by 323 East and his solo flight will bring his career up-to-date and will also augment a growing critical reputation here and abroad. You can catch his opening exhibition this Saturday including special dj sets from Dethlab, Brendan M. Gillen, Ian Ammons.
