Trenton Doyle Hancock b. 1974

Exhibited throughout Good Grief, Bad Grief is a series of intimate self-portraits that make evident the artist’s ability to deftly utilize a range of styles, mark making, and color theory to achieve a profoundly psychological image. These works reflect Hancock’s own emotions and state of mind, with portraits that show him in a range of positions: head in hand, gazing defiantly at the viewer, cautiously peering over his shoulder, or rendered in grotesque form with his eyes cartoonishly popping out of his glasses. Each intimately scaled portrait provides punctuation within the exhibition, while offering a deeper insight into Hancock’s personal psyche.
