The Finer Things is Zachary Le’s current solo exhibition at Seven Bridges Foundation in Greenwich, CT. The body of work on display is curated in such a way that it walks you through the chronology of the artist’s life until ultimately guiding you to a room of the museum filled with Le’s works related to his time in the fire service. The museum held a private reception for the exhibition on November 23, 2024. The Finer Things will be on view through April of 2025.
An exclusive sales reception is set to be held in late March, before the museum opens its doors to the public. If you would like to be put on the guest list, please inquire through the link below — upon request, you may receive event details and access to the exhibition catalog.

Nothing is Wrong
Nothing is Wrong, opened on May 22, 2024, at 55 Bond St in Manhattan, New York. The thirty-eight paintings on view, with the addition of a conversation facilitated by the artist’s dear friend, Jamie DiMiceli, granted all in attendance at Zachary Le’s sold out reception the unique opportunity of taking a deep dive into the life and the work of the artist.
Reception Recap:
Zachary Le’s first ever solo show, Nothing is Wrong, embodies the artist's relentless appreciation for life. The artist has chosen to display paintings across various stages of realization – varnished and signed, works in progress, and morosely abandoned – as a way to invite the viewer to step into his product, his process, and his experience. The thirty-eight oil paintings on view span the course of just under five years time and consequently, the entirety of Le’s practice as an oil painter thus far. Le utilizes this transparent presentation of his life in paint to facilitate an irreplicable exchange between the viewer and the work, for if the two were to ever cross paths again, at least one will have changed, prompting the conversation to expand.
The artist has elected to exhibit work within three distinct categories: figurative, landscape, and still life. Le’s selection of figurative work highlights the power of relationship, the capability of community, and the desperate need for empathy. The inclusion of landscape work advocates for the importance of solitude and a profound appreciation of the natural world. His still life paintings portray the act of intimate and intentional observation that enables us to shape our environment and our perspective.
Through this comprehensive body of seemingly dissimilar works, Le suggests that the whole will always be the sum of its parts; the love and the loss, the good days and the bad, everything has its time, and all things contribute. The interaction with Le’s diverse collection of work prompts the audience to self-reflect: consider the people, the places, the experiences that have shaped them to be who they are today. Le believes that this internal observation is a necessary component to the development of a more empathetic community, a more appreciative society, and a more impactful people. Through engaging with this body of work, the viewer is assigned a greater sense of agency in our collective ability to affect the inevitable, change, for the better. When something can be done, nothing can be wrong forever.
