548 First St NE, 2013
About the artist
Hancock lives and works in Houston, where he was a 2002 Core Artist in Residence at the Glassell School of Art of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. He was featured in the 2000 and 2002 Whitney Biennial exhibitions, becoming one of the youngest artists in history to participate in this prestigious survey. His work has been the subject of one-person exhibitions at the University of South Florida, Tampa; Savannah College of Art and Design; Contemporary Arts Museum Houston; the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami. 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.
548 First St NE (16 prints by Trenton Doyle Hancock), is an autobiographical and visually explosive portfolio based on childhood memories in Hancock’s grandparent’s house in Paris, TX. The prints in the portfolio utilize many processes including silkscreen, photogravure, lithography, and etching.. Each print is 24"x19" with an edition size of 14, housed, with a title page, in a custom-made, linen-covered clamshell box.
