My work is about psychological turning points and transformations and risk, taking that proverbial leap of faith, balanced with that quest for finding refuge, finding quietness and stillness and escapism. Some [paintings] are very, very introspective escapism. Some are just the joy, the pool full of people in this temporary oasis. The 10 minutes when you hit the water for the first time and the smell of sun tan lotion hits your nose. You really don’t think about anything for those first few minutes…Water has been the source of a variety of narratives that appeal to many people: spiritual and physical renewal, cleansing one’s soul, taking the plunge and nostalgic memories of play and fun from childhood…Another popular theme of Zener’s paintings are the businessmen on tightropes who embody a tension that many of us feel and can relate to immediately. As many question whether the subject is falling or hanging on, Zener likes to respond, “The only way not to fall is to keep on moving…”

Pool Party Here This Afternoon

“Comfortable chairs are set into a pool’s shallow-water section, sometimes called a sunning ledge or a ‘flooded deck,’ rather than around the pool’s perimeter. Similar designs also add a water feature called a ‘bubbler’ that give a soothing or whimsical touch. The design for this Manalapan, Florida, pool is by Marc-Michaels Interior Design.” You can have your own for a mere $275k. (Yes, that’s just for the pool. Home, view, land are extra.)
