"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it’s the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."

About
"In my work I feel I’m finally being able to bring together the worlds of comic book narratives and the history of abstraction," comments Trenton Doyle Hancock. Hancock's drawings, installations, paintings tell the epic story of a group of mythical creatures called Mounds. While developing the most recent installment of his story, Hancock explains that his newest series of allegorical paintings are "colorful blasts of energy or communication from Mounds, these visions of hope. So in a way it's like God’s promise with the rainbow after the flood.
