This month we feature the art of Zachery Hale who hails from Store 4, in the East Village.
My work deals with history, the way we come to terms with ourselves and understand ourselves through a master narrative of history. This master narrative is evoked in my work through literary, cinematic, and documentary sources. Ultimately, it’s fiction, it’s a lie- but it’s the lie we choose to believe.
My favorite Utrecht product is the Gloss Medium- it’s so great and versatile, I’d put it on my cereal if I could.
The Damsels in Distress, 50″x72″, oil and transfer on canvas, 2008- It’s 45 portraits of the character actresses that appeared on “Perry Mason,” the wrongfully accused.

Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, once again hosted their annual Draw-a-Thon. The drawing extravaganza ran all night, literally, from 7PM until 7AM. This year’s event drew over 400 attendees . Utrecht donated three gift certificates to our stores, which were included in the early morning raffle. All participants received discount cards, flyers and free erasers from Utrecht. The erasers must have come in handy, don’t you think? The event is free and open to all.

Utrecht FARE
Featuring Artist Employees
Did you know that in New York, Utrecht hires artists to work in our stores? Who knows more about art supplies than artists? Each month we will feature a member of our staff.
Featured Artist: Andrew Birk, Assistant Manager, Fourth Avenue store
Andrew: “I’m interested in making Photoshop pieces that commandeer paintings and photography that people have done and have been left on line. I’m reinterpreting old materials rather than making new materials.” My current favorite supply at Utrecht is: white tempera paint.
