American visual artist and designer Trey Hurst portrays his relationship with the past and the reliability of our memory through a series of ink drawings which will be exhibited during "Misremembered But Not Forgotten" at RCB Galleria 4 of River City Bangkok, Charoen Krung 24, from tomorrow to Aug 21.
For this third solo show, he uses ghostly forms and fluid patterns to articulate his own distorted memories of his home in Southern Louisiana. Within these dense ink compositions are motifs derived from the places and people of childhood in the state.
His broad flowers of the Southern Magnolia tree are rendered as simple twists and curves in black ink to symbolise lost loved ones while references to a sprawling family are drawn as clusters of long slow brushwork that coalesce into patterns full of energy and movement.
