About The Artwork

A boy in his Zorro costume with his hobbyhorse. He is standing in front of a big window which simultaneously reveals the inside and the outside of the world in which he lives. Inside furniture can be made out, and for the design savvy eye it will appear to be sleek Danish design, a PH Lamp hanging from above. Reflected in the window is this child's backyard, at that moment covered in snow. The yard is enclosed by a wall, but the swing set and the costume at hand speak of supportive roots. A grown up man now, this boy may have ventured outside of the wall ages ago, and left behind the swing set. But the power of his imagination is what will once again come to use; to thaw away snow where cold snow has fallen, to discover a new beginning at his own making beneath it all.

​TRINE CHURCHILL is a Danish painter living in Los Angeles. The daughter of a Danish cartoonist and from a family of dreamers, art and imagination was part of growing up. “I FIND INSPIRATION in the everyday life, using vintage imagery (often selected from my family’s photos) and snap shots from life around me or current events. The images can be somewhat mundane to begin with but used as a mere steppingstone into the process of making a painting, my physical world becomes more of a psychological, and symbolic one. I approach the canvas with little planning. In this way, I allow for mistakes to happen, aware that these mistakes can sometimes take the painting to the next level. My painting process also entails loose handling of the paint in areas that are more abstract along with other areas that are rendered realistically. It is this duality in the painting process that I feel very passionate about, finding a real pleasure in applying the paint to the surface. For this purpose, I work in oil as well as acrylics, both of which medium will allow for flow in the moment.” TRINE CHURCHILL received her BFA from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angles and studied for a semester at l´Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. This introduced her to the French impressionist painters with frequent visits to museums like Musee d’Orsay and l’Orangerie. Recent trips to Paris have renewed this inspiration taking in the brush work of these artists. Earlier sources of influence came from the surrealists such as Magritte and Dali, and the Norwegian expressionist Edvard Munch, and of current and contemporary artists Churchill looks to Peter Doig and Hernan Bas, finding inspiration in their use of the abstract with the representational. SOLO EXHIBITIONS of her work include shows at Castelli Art Space Los Angeles, College of the Canyons, Santa Clarita, George Billis Gallery in Los Angeles, Nancy Margolis Gallery in New York, and Hübner & Hübner Galeirie in Frankfurt. Her work has also been exhibited at the Torrance Art Museum and the Red Dot art fair in Miami.
