AS A PREVIOUS ART GALLERY OWNER, PHOTOGRAPHER AND OWNER OF TRENT\u2019S ART IT IS A PLEASURE TO EXPOUND ON THIS VERY UNIQUE AND VIBRANT ARTIST.<\/p>\n

\u00a0THE EYES OF AN ARTIST ARE TRULY THE MOST INTERESTING ELEMENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL WORK.\u00a0 IN TRENT\u2019S CASE, HIS PERCEPTION OF THE WORLD IS AT A DIFFERENT ANGLE THEN WHAT WE GENERALLY SEE.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0THAT UNIQUE PERCEPTION THAT HE SO CLEARLY DEFINES IN HIS WORK IS WHAT IS BOTH VISUALLY AND VISCERALLY EXCITING TO THE OBSERVER.\u00a0 I STAND IMMERSED IN HIS WORK AND HAVE JUST A LITTLE AWE IN THE EXPERIENCE OF HIS VISION.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love the vibe, the artist and the feeling his art extends to those that are embraced by it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trent Altman\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0paintings exude a positive energy and boundary-breaking openness that lift each image bey\"elizabeth-duker-gold\"ond the standard landscape painting, demonstrating a clear talent and skill that Altman has achieved in the face of autism. \u201cI observe and absorb the setting, then take my emotions and images back to my canvases,\u201d he says. In his paintings, color and texture combine in an intriguing partnership that captures the tones and surfaces of the outdoors, while also transmitting a personal feeling. The settings he depicts are often beach scenes, and his subtle eye for color and light, along with his ability to create a dynamic sense of space, result in works that bring those settings alive.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Working on canvas in acrylics and mixed media, Altman incorporates painting and collage into his artwork. \u201cI integrate multiple process beyond the brush,\u201d he says. Those methods include\u00a0using numerous mediums,\u00a0slinging and spraying paint onto the canvas, and gluing originally designed items to the surface of his paintings, augmenting their textural and visual variety. Trent Altman also has served as American Autism Ambassador, bringing the talents of those with autism into view\u2014talents that are compellingly illustrated by his own work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Trent Altman does not re-enact “The Embarkation for Cythera” by Jean-Antoine Watteau , but guides the viewer\u00a0 further through the Isle of gods, via his paintings.\u00a0 His style is based on the form of Watteau, in a combined style of impasto impressionism, synthetic cubism, and color contrast for energetic communication of focal points.\u00a0 The energy impact of all three styles as non objective art captured Oscar Wilde’s “Nature copying Art.” (Preface of Dorian Grey), and transfixes and comforts the viewers, through their language with nature, into an imaginative and innovative world of the gods by art.<\/p>\n

Altman\u2019s work is strong on the physical texture of paint and objects by conforming them to his world.\u00a0 Indeed, a match, as well as, a new approach to the combined worlds of artists styles, like the impressionists : Monet\u2019s broken color, Pissarro\u2019s pattern of broken color, and Van Gogh\u2019s impasto. \u00a0 Altman\u2019s images are transformed into patterns of Cubism and High Analytical Cubism of\u00a0 Picasso and George Braque, translating the imaginative form of Watteau\u2019s metaphysical world. He has combined what many artists, in the past, used on a singular basis.<\/p>\n

The viewer is taken on a tour, of a new metaphysical world, with the comfort of timelessness, and patterns from objects of nature, working together. It is a calm world transformed by metaphysical beauty and created by poets such as John Donne and George Herbert.\u00a0 Altman\u2019s\u00a0 aesthetics has joined this group of visual and literary artists, on a strong plain on the Isle of Cythera, as your visual guide of human emotions, dancing to the universal rhythms of nature on another dimension.Altman\u2019s\u00a0 aesthetics has join this group of visual and literary artists, on a strong plain on the Isle of Cythera, as your visual guide of human emotions, dancing to the universal rhythms of nature on another dimension.<\/p>\n

Art Critique by Dr. Rosa Martinez, NYC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trent Altman from Louisville, KY creates brilliant color and texture on\u00a0canvas. His art represents Altman\u2019s interpretation of matter while consuming his environmental sense of sight, sound and scents. His paintings are beyond bold and dramatic. \u201cAltman\u2019s use of multiple layers, and his distinctive style result in monumental flow of intimately muted colors and 3 dimensional textures on canvas,\u201d writes Dr. Rosa Martinez, Ph.D. Strokes of Genius, Inc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Trent Altman’s paintings are confident and original. Impressive work.” Nicholas Treadwell (owner Treadwell Gallery, Aigen, Austria).<\/b><\/p>\n

Art Critique by Filmmaker<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Trent’s expressionistic style and career history have proven him to be not only a very credible but a well respected artist. In the style of abstract express\"Redionism his paintings are quite captivating. His play with colours and shapes makes you linger, makes you wonder. The texture is also captivating with his use of mixed media. I feel like I’m entering Trent’s soul each time I immerse myself in one of his works.” Sonia Sugavau

\"agora-gallery\"The paintings of autistic artist\u00a0Trent Altman<\/b> are richly evocative of the experience of being outdoors: the roughness of sand, the salt of a sea breeze, and the blue of a cloudless sky can all be deeply felt in his work. It\u2019s no surprise, then, that Altman is most inspired by the beauty in nature. By employing sumptuous pigments and experimenting with unconventional materials to create texture, Altman conveys his own experiences in a clear and direct way that demands the attention of his audience.
