Hear from artist Trenton Doyle Hancock as he shares his reflections on two different exhibitions on a special day of in-gallery talks. First visit the Jewish Museum’s Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston (on view through March 30, 2025) which investigates the legacy of white supremacism in the United States. Then join us for a close look at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s newly installed collection gallery Philip Guston: The Panel Paintings to explore selections from the extraordinary promised gift of Guston’s paintings and drawings from the artist’s daughter, Musa Guston Mayer.

 

About the artist:

 

Trenton Doyle Hancock is a multifaceted artist based in Houston, Texas whose work draws on the language of comics to challenge and comment on the American condition, notably, the pernicious and persistent threat of racism, past and present. Part fictional, part autobiographical, Hancock pulls from his own personal experience, art historical canon, comics and superheroes, pulp fiction, and myriad pop culture references, resulting in a complex amalgamation of characters and plots possessing universal concepts of light and dark, good and evil, and all the grey in between. Hancock earned his BFA from Texas A&M University, Commerce, and his MFA from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, Philadelphia.
