Justin Trimble, Little Rock
graduated with a Liberal Arts degree from Loyola University of New
Orleans in 2004. In 2006, Trimble decided to begin selling his art
after recieving compliments and offers to buy many of the abstract
paintings he had created for his own collection.
Trimble's unconventional methods include the movement of paint across
large surfaces with various kitchen utensils and custom-made gloves
which allow him to use spatula-like fingers to manipulate each
painting in a more intimate manner than brush techniques would allow.
His paintings have been compared to blown glass due to their fluid and
vibrant use of color. Trimble's smooth blending of these colors and
added texture are unique in style and appearance, which sets his work
apart from more geometric abstract paintings.
Although his work may seem purely abstract, many of Trimble's pieces
begin as representations of actual objects and scenes. These paintings
are then transformed through the deconstructive movement of paint. The result; tangled imagery, remniscent of chaotically jumbled and melted puzzle pieces. The placement and shapes are left behind, but the
feelings and emotions that the imagery provokes remain. In fact,
Trimble has described his own work as "... the chaos of a melted
puzzle".
