Misremembered but not Forgotten by Trey Hurst on view from 20 July (registration at 6 p.m.) – 21 August 2022
in RCB Galleria 4 on 2nd floor of River City Bangkok
.
In “Misremembered but not Forgotten”, the artist uses ghostly forms and fluid patterns to articulate his own distorted memories of his home: Southern Louisiana. Under the broader theme of “Remembering,” he explores how we dissociate from “home” over time, and the ways in which we define our own individual identity. Through his use of “Architectonic” painting, he asks the question, “Can I describe my past using the vastly different language of my present?”
.
Trey Hurst groups work under two themes; Memory and Place: Complex patterns that articulate his own memories, emotions, history. They represent his experience in a given place and time and Material and Process: Simple patterns and compositions using both repetitive mark-making and fluid brushstrokes.
