Internationally acclaimed artist Trenton Doyle Hancock spins ever-evolving personal, mythological narratives in a prolifically inventive practice that incorporate text, drawing, collage, and painting with installation and performance. A remarkably prolific artist, Hancock's exuberant marvels embody his singular vision and distinctive means of storytelling.

Hancock was born in Oklahoma City and raised in Paris, Texas. He earned his BFA from Texas A&M University, and MFA from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, Philadelphia. His work has been exhibited extensively, including one-person exhibitions at The Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth; and Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami. He was one of the youngest artists ever to be included in the Whitney Biennial (2000 and 2002). He is represented by James Cohan Gallery in New York, and Dunn and Brown Gallery in Dallas, TX. Hancock currently lives and works in Houston.
