TRENT ALTMAN
Trent Altman
Born 1977
Trent Altman is an award-winning artist who lives in Louisville, KY.
He paints expressionistic abstract pieces in acrylics and mixed
media collages on canvas.
Making art has provided Trent connections to peers and
friendships, as well as enabled Trent to live life with increased
independence.
Trent is a wonderful example of how someone who has autism
has met the challenges to live a full life, both employed at
Meijer, retail store, and as an artist. Trent lives with a friend who
is also his assistant to full independent living.
Artist Statement:
Trent paints expressionistic abstract pieces in acrylics and
mixed media collages on canvas. His work displays an
emphasis and commitment to the PROCESS of art making
over and above the PRODUCT.
Experiencing his work makes that abundantly clear. You can
sense a freedom of expression, movement, energy and drive
through the multiple methods of applying paint and collage
materials.
With each piece he discovers, explores and ultimately shares
layers and avenues of moods and emotions. The viewer of the
work is encouraged, and perhaps can't help, but be drawn into the wonder of the how, what and WHY of the process that brought the piece to life. For Trent this process rises above all else, as making art nurtures his mind, heart, and soul - reaching within himself and sharing with others - through the process.
