Cult of Color: Call to Color: Trenton Doyle Hancock


Professor Odili Donald Odita at the ICA: Third Space
September 5, 2008 - March 29, 2009




The colors I use are personal: they reflect the collection of visions from my travels locally and globally. This is also one of the hardest aspects of my work as I try to derive the colors intuitively, hand-mixing and coordinating them along the way.



In my process, I cannot make a color twice - it can only appear to be the same. This aspect is important to me as it highlights the specificity of differences that exist in the world of people and things. What is most interesting to me is a fusion of cultures where things that seem faraway and disparate have the ability to function within an almost seamless flow.  No matter the discord, I believe through art there is a way to weave the different parts into an existent whole, where metaphorically, the notion of a common humanity can be understood as real."

-Odili Donald Odita
