Tavern 2.o.1 Gallery
Zachary Paris, a 28-year-old lifelong Western New Yorker, began his artistic journey at age 23 under the name “Zachary Paris Art.” On January 2, 2026, he launched a new brand identity: Fire Viper Artistry. His work has been featured in Buffalo‑area comic book shops and in collaborations with dance and burlesque companies.
Drawing inspiration from graphic novels, dark and realistic cinematography, poetry, and the people closest to him, Paris explores the emotional and psychological landscapes that shape human experience. His favorite color to work with is black, though his favorite color is green.
“The Sun Goes Away…” marks his first solo exhibition, a milestone in his four-year artistic career. In his artist statement, he describes his work as an exploration of “the unique complexities of human emotion… what makes us feel, what makes us desire, and how we build what is around us based on our organic human connections.”
