About the Item
Carrying a Big Thing by Zachary Schomburg feels bold yet contemplative. A large, organic red form dominates the canvas, its edges soft and irregular, with subtle tonal variations that create depth and a sense of inner movement. The red reads as warm and immersive, almost glowing against the calm, neutral background. In the lower corner, smaller areas of deep blue and muted ochre quietly anchor the composition, adding contrast without competing for attention. Overall, the painting has a meditative, elemental quality, simultaneously grounded and expansive, evoking emotion through color and form rather than narrative.
Zachary Schomburg is a painter and poet based in Portland, Oregon. Working primarily with acrylics, he draws inspiration from the vibrant energy and dynamic compositions of artists like Helen Frankenthaler and Etel Adnan. For Schomburg, painting is an act of letting go—an ongoing practice of embracing surprise and listening to the paint itself.
In addition to his visual art, Schomburg is a poet and the author of six books of poems, a novel, and the founder of an independent poetry press. His creative practice spans both mediums, with a deep commitment to storytelling through both words and imagery. Schomburg lives in Portland with his partner B and their child, Y, where he continues to explore the connections between language, art, and the natural world around him.
