Career

Mural by Zio Ziegler in London

Ziegler is known for both painting and murals, stating that his paintings are mainly inspired by Literature, French Modernism, and Architecture.[6] His art features "repeated motifs of primitive patterns, gigantism, and distortion"[7] and is improvisational rather than carefully planned.[2]

Murals of Ziegler can be seen on buildings around the world such as Tokyo, Los Angeles, London, Italy, and more.

United Nations Charter,[9][10][11] and a 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2) mural on a Tillys warehouse in Irvine, California, visible daily to approximately 240,000 commuters on Interstate 405.[12][13] His mural on the factory doors of Italian bicycle manufacturer Cinelli was featured as part of an article on Design Boom.[14]

Ziegler's paintings have been featured at exhibits internationally.[6] Most recently in 2015, he exhibited with French artist Pierre Roy-Camille, shortly after returning from traveling around the world for various exhibitions.[6] In 2015 he also exhibited at an Istanbul Contemporary Art Museum event, being represented in the solo artist section.[15]

In addition to his murals and paintings, Ziegler has designed a line of Vans sneakers,[1][2] and has painted art cars for collectors.[5] He also founded the Arte Sempre clothing company in Mill Valley, the Weekend swap company and web site for coordinating the use of outdoors equipment.[7]
