BEAMS X Vans X Japan X Zio Ziegler

Emerging San Francisco based painter, Zio Ziegler, paints to have better self understanding. He is consistently producing new works all over the globe on canvas and in public spaces (street murals). The young artist graduated in 2010 from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) with B.A. in painting.

He recently launched his own lifestyle and clothing brand, “Atre Sempre” to allow his art to become accessible to the public. This past summer 2014, Zio came to BEAMS, Harajuku, Japan to celebrate his collaboration with the shoe brand, Vans. He painted the mural (location on blog page) outside the BEAMS store. This detailed design expresses exactly Zio’s painting and mural style. Influenced by cubism, classicism and futurism. His inspirations are said to always be changing. His current favorites are Egyptology, French modernism, Xavier Veilhan, Thomas Houseago and Georges Braque.
