Trenton Doyle Hancock

Bio

Trenton Doyle Hancock is an American artist. He was born in 1974 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and grew up in Paris, Texas. He makes prints, videos, drawings, sculptures, individual performances, and collaged felt paintings. Hancock is known for his visual work that focuses on the Mounds and the Vegans, two forces that are constantly dueling with one another and serve as a representation of the eternal battle between good and evil. When asked about the variety of inspiration fueling his work, Hancock says, “I wanted to see how many different ways I could extend my personality or my identity into my work—whether it be painting, printmaking, drawing comics, sculpture, or ballet—just a myriad of different things. I find that to be more truthful than not.”
