About the Item

acrylic on canvas b. 1978 Chris Trueman is a Los Angeles-based artist. He graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2003, earning BFA degrees in Painting and Digital Media. He relocated to southern California to attend Claremont Graduate University, earning an MFA in 2010. Trueman currently teaches at Chaffey College and has previously taught at UC Riverside, Chapman University, Fullerton College, and Santa AnaCollege. He has guest lectured at Chapman.University, Pomona College, and Santa Ana College, and was a Northrup Grumman Visiting Artist/Scholar at the Museum of Art and History Lancaster.Trueman has exhibited his work in numerous exhibitions in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Chicago, La Jolla, Seattle and internationally in Milan, Dehli, Paris, Berlin, Beijing, Rotterdam, and Brisbane (AUS). The Lancaster Museum of Art and History presented a solo exhibition of his paintings.entitled, Slipstream. His work was also included in the group exhibitions, To Live and Paint in LA and The Subterraneanst; and Risky Business at the Torrance Art Museum. His work has been exhibited at various art fairs including Dallas Art Fair, Pulse Miami, Pulse New York, TX Contemporary, Art Aspen, and ArtMRKT San Francisco. Trueman’s work has been included in the publication New American Paintings MFA Edition #87 and New American Paintings Pacific Coast Issues #103 and Pacific Coast Issue #121. I explore the temporality of representation through abstraction by constructing new systems and modes in which the material of painting converges with the visual aesthetic of digital and photographic imagery. I discover the possibilities of paint’s articulation of space, surface, time, and image. My newest work is painted on large-scale Yupo, a synthetic paper that is then mounted on Dibond. The unique interaction of the smooth Yupo surface and acrylic paint, both sprayed on applied with a brush and squeegee and at times silk-screened, allows for marks and forms to function as either positive or negative space. This back-and-forth relationship of positive and negative reverses the norm of gestural painting by presenting the gestural mark and its inversion within the same space. While the mark is a record of movement or idea, the negative gesture forms a transparent boundary between previous and subsequent layers.
