Chris Trueman

Chris Trueman is an artist who lives and works in the Los Angeles area. Chris’ paintings explore the idea of identity as the management of multiple micro identities. He creates dynamic paintings that are constructed by fusing essentialized and abbreviated styles, sourced from contemporary and modern painting history that includes abstract expressionism, hardedge abstraction, architectural abstraction and pop art. These paintings are built by piling components, and the interactions that elements have between each other are at times adversarial, whimsical, dynamic, and harmonious. The result is a painting that is both a single object and a composite of multiple paintings — a Frankenstein of pop-abstract-geometric expressionism.
