About the Item

Painting from what he calls “the middle ground of common experience,” Trujillo uses his environments as the foundation for a personal vision. He depicts places common to North American urban and suburban landscapes such as big chain and warehouse stores, gas stations, shopping malls, and chain restaurants. Ever mindful that his paintings are neither “critique nor worship,” he distances himself from human dramas and avoids overt irony and fantasy. In spite of this, Trujillo’s scenes force us to look closely at the world around us, revealing truths that evoke discomfort or elicit thought and self-examination. Ultimately, Trujillo’s paintings are about painting. Interpretation is left to the viewer. Born in Albuquerque in 1966, Trujillo received his B.F.A. from the University of Texas at Austin, and his M.F.A. from Yale University. Since then, Trujillo has shown widely on both East and West coasts, including solo exhibitions in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. A recipient of the 2001 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, Trujillo was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship in 2008. Trujillo’s work was featured in the exhibition The Gildless Age at the Torrance Art Museum in Los Angeles in 2016. In 2017, Trujillo was celebrated with two separate solo museum exhibitions: Marc Trujillo: Urban Ubiquity at the Bakersfield Museum of Art, CA and Marc Trujillo: American Purgatory at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, Charleston, SC.

  • CHROMASEEDS - Framed Mixed Media Painting of 3 Gaillardia w/ Blooms Falling
    By Heather Hartman
    Located in Signal Mountain, TN
    CHROMASEEDS is a multilayered composition created with paper and tyvek cut-outs painted with oil, acrylic, and gouache, sealed with polyester mesh layers. The plants represented in the piece are Gaillardia flowers, commonly known as blanket flowers, native to North America and often bred for their decorative, ornamental shape. In her creative process, Hartman anthropomorphizes the flowers, paying attention to their dance-like growth movement. Here, their shadows dance in the prismatic light of the rainbow, while the wind catches their seeds, cultivating the garden. The vibrant, rainbow light was achieved by painting a prismatic shape on tyvec and black paper, creating a reverse silhouette...

  • Dappled Forest, Pointillist Forest Landscape, Green Leaves, Brown Trees, Woods
    Located in Kent, CT
    In this pointillist landscape, a forest scene with trees in woods is carefully painted in colorful dots in acrylic and gouache on Duralar mounted on panel. Signed and dated on verso. Kirstin Lamb’s gridded, meticulously detailed paintings on transparent acetate are labor-intensive paintings of labor-intensive textiles and patterns. To create these embroidery paintings, Lamb starts by generating a digitized grid and painstakingly painting each individual gridded stitch by hand using acrylic and gouache on a wet media acetate. The process creates a one-to-one relationship of mark to stitch, the act of each brushstroke serving for the stitch of a needle. Lamb’s embroidery paintings draw patterns from French floral wallpaper of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, while others draw inspiration from vintage embroidery...
