Zak Art House & B.D. Stellmacher Jr.
Art goes beyond utility and contributes the human perspective to society. As a child, exposure to art created a space for introspection, expression, and connection. Today, I am excited to share the launch of the Zakara Art House and the management of its first artist, B.D. Stellmacher Jr.
In 2022, after buying a house and wanting to feature artist with a connection to the community, I met Dwight (artist name B.D. Stellmacher Jr.) His recent walk of faith to pursue Conversations Through Canvas ™ ignited my desire to establish the Zak Art House.
The Zak Art House (ZAH) is a dynamic marketplace focused on elevating emerging artists. Our collection focuses on artists whose work depicts various aspects of life through a multitude of genres. The artwork is inspired by the culture of these communities and addresses the many issues at the forefront of society. Zak aims to engage at the intersection of art and community to stir consciousness – whether you are a seasoned collector, art appreciator, or merely have an interest in art.
Benford Dwight Stellmacher, Jr. is a multi-faceted creative who began in his early years drawing graffiti, cartoons, and sketching still figures around the house on any piece of paper he could find. In December of 2018, Benford picked up paint brushes and began expressing his creativity in a brand-new medium. Primarily using acrylics, his confidence and conviction in his artwork grew consistently throughout the years, culminating in the establishment of his namesake art company, B.D. Stellmacher, Jr., LLC in 2020. His artwork, which spans themes of social justice, music, faith, education, and the Black experience in America, has been received with fervor and praised for its messaging, composition, quality, and uniqueness.
In 2022 B.D. Stellmacher Jr. created Weight of My Faith, the focal piece of the Conversations Through Canvas™ exhibit. Learn more about B.D. Stellmacher Jr. in his recent interview below and check out his website - https://www.bdstellmacher.com/about
