SAN FRANCISCO, June 01, 2015 /KidZNewswire/ -- PBteen, a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM) portfolio of brands, announced today an exclusive collaboration with Zio Ziegler, an internationally recognized artist known for his bold, over-sized graffiti-style murals in major cities around the world.

ABOUT ARTIST ZIO ZIEGLER

Ziegler is an emerging contemporary artist whose work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in North America and Europe. In addition to paintings, he has also been recognized for his outdoor installation-based murals which are typically monochromatic with a distinct tribal-like aesthetic. For Zio Ziegler, painting is an attempt at self-understanding. He creates an experience for the viewer that parallels his own search in creation. Ziegler?s work is focused on movement and self-reflection, influenced by a multitude of styles, including classicism, cubism, futurism and primitivism. Ziegler studied at Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) where he graduated in 2010 with a B.A. in painting. Ziegler is also the founder of clothing and lifestyle brand Arte Sempre, and is currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area but travels the world in pursuit of his art.
