Composition of Color: Abstracts by Zachary Inkeles

Recently, Zachary Inkeles, one of the Jewish Disabilities Network's clients, had an art show at Koelbel Library in Centennial. About 60 people, including Zach’s friends, professionals, and autism awareness supporters, attended the event. We would like to share his story and more about the art show, "Composition of Color" with you.

Composition of Color
Although Zachary Inkeles has been creating art since childhood, he has only recently begun to explore abstract expression. His paintings are created with acrylic, acrylic mediums, premium latex paint, and hand-cut collage on hardboard or canvas. He applies these mediums via paintbrush, rags, and palette knife, and uses a complex glaze technique with some sanding between layers.

Zachary has Asperger Sydrome, a form of autism, which makes working with abstract ideas a real challenge. This is because he tends to think and process in very concrete and literal ways.

Using music as inspiration, shapes and colors mingle with each other to create highly personal interpretations of sound and rhythm. His hope is that the colors and movements enable viewers to hear music, yet the music will not be the same for everyone.
