About Zack Ramey
Currently living in Pittsburgh, Zack is an artist and educator interested in drawing and painting, public murals, lettering and calligraphy, and in bridging art practices with philosophy practices. While art and philosophy are very different in mood, they have both appealed to Zack since a kid, and today, he works to bridge the two, starting from the premise that together they strengthen one another by filling in each other’s blindspots.
Commissions
- Art has several functions: it memorializes and preserves by keeping special things alive, it points to what is most special (the sacred), it symbolizes, pleases, goads thinking, quiets, or energizes the mind. Whichever function it performs, it aims to bring the good more into the world.
- What images are alive for you lately?
This is a sacred inquiry because there is transformational power in images.
