  Welcome to the Art of Zen, presenting the luxurious and sensual paintings & sculptures of California-born Byron Bay artist Zen Player.

Over 35 years Zen has produced a stunning array of exotic abstract, sensual figurative, mysterious landscape and other lyrical works that reflect his distinctly fresh and passionate view of life on Earth.


Using classic methods and personally

developed techniques with oils, acrylics, collage, metallic and opalescent lustres, fabrics & found objects, Zen invites us to glimpse the flowing, complex, multidimensional and often amusing universe he inhabits.

He applies a mysterious and wonderful alchemy of original textures, colors, symbols, ideas and effects that open a portal into lush worlds of dream-like imagery, evocative forms and striking compositions.

Zen's works embellish both private and public spaces in the USA, Hawaii, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. He is represented by Alex Alexander in Hawaii and Eden Nunnery in the continental USA.

His paintings hang in the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) Museum in New York City, Cedar Sinai Hospital Collection in Los Angeles and City Hall Buildings in San Francisco.

His distinctive paintings have appeared in over 30 exhibitions, in national magazines, a platinum album  (Deep Breakfast by Ray Lynch), best-selling book covers and most significantly, in the homes and work-places of people who feel enlivened by their intense and playful presence.
