ABOUT THE ARTWORK

It's called "can you hear the song of my dream?" I had a dream where this unusual song was being sung very loudly in an echoing hallway. When I woke up, I believed that people in the waking world had been able to hear the song while I was dreaming about it. It is an allegory about narcissism seen in people who talk without listening. It is the image of one-way conversations, which of course are speeches rather than conversations, and the lack of communication that occurs when there is no binary relationship, no stable opposition, in play.

Scott A. Trimble graduated from USC’s School of Cinema and Television with an emphasis in history/criticism and screenwriting. Although he enjoyed writing, he dreaded the time-intensive nature of transcribing entire ideas into words once their inspiration had already sparked and moved on. Painting, by contrast, is all about immediacy and spontaneity, and is full of opportunities for Trimble to surprise even himself. Trimble’s practice of planting successive images on the same plane offers an experience beyond the four corners of the canvas. He partially or sometimes wholly obscures one of his then-existing paintings, pressing the remainders into service of a new, multiple palimpsest that mimics and physically resembles the way our memories construct themselves over time. Unwilling to completely renounce writing, he pairs intuitively musical titles with doggedly ambiguous imagery as his expressionist and surreal figurative and landscape paintings examine the elusive nature of recall within the hidden structures of relationships and emotional wellsprings, You can read more about Trimble online here: Shana Nys Dambrot’s Scott A.Trimble’s Visionquest I n the Huffington Post (.html) Bondo Wyszpolski’s Circling Back to the Dream Deferred () Genie Davis’ DiversionsLA (?p=180, ?p=2029)
