Trenton Doyle Hancock Lecture: "Bananas for Savannah"
Wednesday, 7 p.m.,
Arnold Hall, 1810 Bull St., Savannah, Ga.
Trenton Doyle Hancock was born in 1974 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and raised in Paris, Texas. Hancock's prints, drawings, and collaged felt paintings work together to tell the story of the Mounds-a group of mythical creatures that are the tragic protagonists of the artist's unfolding narrative. Each new work by Hancock is a contribution to the saga of the Mounds, portraying the birth, life, death, afterlife and even dream states of these half-animal, half-plant creatures. Influenced by the history of painting, especially Abstract Expressionism, Hancock transforms traditionally formal decisions-such as the use of color, language and pattern-into opportunities to create new characters, develop subplots, and convey symbolic meaning. Lecture is free and open to the public. This event is part of deFINE ART fine art festival.
