The Stunning Art of Trent Altman

Artist Statement

I am an expressionistic abstract artist working in acrylics and mixed media collage on canvas. I reach within myself and share with you my creations. My paintings display an emphasis and commitment to the process of art making over and above the product. Experiencing my work you will notice a freedom of expression, movement, and energy through the multiple methods in applying paint and collage materials. With each piece, I discover avenues of moods and emotions. The viewer of my work is drawn into the wonder of the how, what and why of the process that brought the piece to life. For me, the process of creating rises above all else as I make art to nurture my mind, heart, and soul. Though I have autism, I live in my own house next door to my uncle with a roommate and friend, Jason. I work in the Pets Department at Meijer. My job is to restock, feed, and care for the pets, gerbils, and birds. When at home or visiting my mom, I like to ride my bike and walk my dog, Katie a Golden Retriever. I love taking care of her. My favorite outings are going to movies, shopping for Nike shirts, and eating out at restaurants. I like comedy movies with my favorite actors like Martin Lawrence, Adam Sandler, and Jim Carrey. My favorite foods are hamburgers and pizza. My best friends are other artists, and my two brothers Todd and Travis.

I think Life Love Explosion is such a beautiful

piece.

A rich mix of loud and quiet colours set in such a way as to seem like a moment in time; an explosion of some kind in freeze frame.

Nice simple techniques used to a top quality original standard.

The title definitely completes the picture.

All in all This piece made me happy and inspired me to review it so it must be good cos I'm more into music.

I love Trent's work. We had the honor of featuring some of his beautiful paintings in our " Included " CD from Gifted Artists Records and The Rhythmic Arts Project.

He is a true talent and I'm grateful to know his family and his work.

This is beautiful!!! I know Trent and his family, his story is just amazing. Few families have embraced their children the way they have.
