Reeves Contemporary
535 W 24th StPainter Doug Trump opens a show of new work at Reeves Contemporary on Thursday evening, May 18th with a reception from 6-8 p.m. The exhibition continues through June 24 th.
Doug Trump’s oil paintings on both canvas and silkscreen incorporate fields of pigment punctuated by spontaneous drawing to convey monumental space. Rich balances of color and collaged surfaces serve as background to finely drawn gestural figures rendered primarily in pencil, ink, and charcoal. These areas are often overpainted, sanded back and thinly veiled in tonal increments to give the work a dimensional quality. These paintings have lengthy working histories, with the artist often addressing and re-addressing on one piece over a period of years. The various textures, range of tonalities, and bold graphic marks together inform each piece with its own narrative and unique rhythm. About his work, Trinkett Clark, former curator of Twentieth Century Art at the Chrysler, wrote: “Charged with an energetic incandescence, his work offers a visual journey that includes and transcends our immediate reality.”
Trump has had a number of highly successful exhibits in New York City and throughout New England and the East Coast. His paintings were the subject of a 1995 Parameters exhibition at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia, curated by Trinkett Clark. He has had work in the museum show entitled, The American River, and his paintings have been included in exhibitions at the Mead Museum at Amherst College and at the Brattleboro Museum. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1972 with a degree in Religious Thought.
Trump’s works are in numerous private, museum and corporate collections, including American Express, Pfizer, Wellington Management, Deloitte & Touche, among others. His work has also been featured in the annual Art of the 20 th Century Fair in New York, and the Works on Paper Art Fair at the Armory on Park Avenue.
