Trenton Doyle Hancock and STPI at PULSE
Singapore Tyler Print Institute presents Trenton Doyle Hancock at PULSE
March 3 - 6, 2010, Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street

For their 2011 participation in PULSE New York, the Singapore Tyler Print Institute will present a selection of new works by Trenton Doyle Hancock, created during his recent residency in Singapore. Please visit them at Booth B9.

Under the direction of master papermaker Richard Hungerford and the STPI team, Hancock produced a new body of striking, large-scale monotypes using a wide variety of printmaking techniques, custom paper stencil cut-outs and handmade paper from the studio’s mill. STPI exhibited the full series last year in an exhibition entitled, A Day Ahead, A Head A Day. This will be the project's first presentation in the United States.

This series serves as a bridge between Hancock's signature mythological narrative and a new autobiographical body of work. Several works incorporate imagery of the artist’s self-portrait embedded in surroundings that reflect back on the cosmic, biblical and revelatory aspects of his now renown Vegan-Mound saga.

As Dorothy Spears comments in the STPI exhibition catalogue, “The one of a kind works that comprise A Day Ahead, A Head A Day bear witness to Hancock’s exuberance, as well as his open- minded, experimental working style. But more importantly, they reveal his passion for buiding bridges – between techniques and technicians in the print shop and paper mill, between his past and future work, and between cultures…Instead of thinking of the STPI works as pure prints, which traditionally fall into separate categories and are produced in editions, he began treating them as one-of-a-kind artworks. While maintaining his cartoonish, exuberant, and eye-popping drawing and painting style, he began weaving collage into his works in different and often uncharted ways. Eventually, he witnessed the merging of what he had previously kept completely separate: painting and printmaking.”
