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."
