Early life and education

Career

Ziegler is known for both painting and murals, stating that his paintings are mainly inspired by Literature, French Modernism, and Architecture.[7] His art features "repeated motifs of primitive patterns, gigantism, and distortion"[8] and is improvisational rather than carefully planned.[2]

Murals of Ziegler can be seen on buildings around the world such as Tokyo, Los Angeles, London, Italy, and more.[9] Notable murals by Ziegler include a 135feet tall mural on the Cathedral Building in Oakland, California, commissioned by the United Nations Foundation to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the signing of the United Nations Charter,[10] [11] [12] and a 15000ft2 mural on a Tillys warehouse in Irvine, California, visible daily to approximately 240,000 commuters on Interstate 405.[13] [14] His mural on the factory doors of Italian bicycle manufacturer Cinelli was featured as part of an article on Design Boom.[15]

Ziegler's paintings have been featured at exhibits internationally.[7] In 2015 he exhibited at an Istanbul Contemporary Art Museum event, being represented in the solo artist section.[16] His work is held in institutions including the Rubell Museum, Longlati Foundation, Collecion Solo, Georgia Museum of Art, and the Phoenix Art Museum.[17]

In addition to his murals and paintings, Ziegler has designed a line of Vans sneakers,[1] [2] and has painted art cars for collectors.[6] Ziegler is also an adjunct professor in the Stanford d.school.[18]
