Summer WheatLove Birds (Left), 2021Acrylic paint and gouache on aluminum mesh69 1/2 x 95 1/2 x 2 in
176.5 x 242.6 x 5.1 cm -
Favoring malleable structures and expressive color palettes, Summer Wheat’s tactile paintings merge process and narrative to ponder individual and collective human experience as seen through various moments in art history. Drawing on rich traditions from Egyptian relief sculptures to Modernist painting, Wheat’s textural art objects destabilize material boundaries and elevate quotidian life through scale and movement. Borrowing from the logic of medieval tapestries hung as symbols of authority, Wheat allows acrylic paint to ooze through fine wire mesh causing figures to emerge and dance upon lush, fiber-like surfaces that coalesce into heroic history paintings.

Trenton Doyle HancockThey Gave Me Two Feet, and I Gave Em’ a Foot, 2022Acrylic on canvas24 x 24 in
61 x 61 cm -
For almost two decades, Trenton Doyle Hancock’s elaborate works have interlaced personal memoir with the history of painting and pop-cultural imagery. Raised in a Southern Baptist household, the artist spent his childhood immersed in biblical subjects whose power can now be seen in his ongoing exploration of universal themes of good and evil. Infused with both personal and cultural mythologies, Hancock’s dense and subversive storylines employ tropes, ranging from comic-strip superhero battles to medieval morality, often introducing text as a key visual component that further complicates the narrative. Hancock’s fantastical Moundverse is a metaphorical space that reflects the everyday world that envisions characters that explore timeless polarities like good and evil alongside related issues of race, class, identity, politics, and social justice.
