Biography
of David Trulli
David
Trulli lives and
works in Los Angeles, California and has been exhibiting his artwork
since 2001. This fall marks his sixth solo show and his
second
with the Robert Berman Gallery. Trulli works primarily in
scratchboard, scratching images into ink-coated, clay surfaces on wood
panels that are often quite large by traditional standards.
According to Artweek critic Charlene Roth, “his
black-and-white
renderings show still moments, but these are a view of a gathering of
energy before screams of panic. They are pictures of the
instant
when the uncanny intrudes upon the here and now.”
Trulli has been profiled in the L.A. Times and his work has appeared in
Artweek, Juxtapoz and ArtScene among others. In 2009 he was
commissioned by Harley-Davidson to create his work on a motorcycle gas
tank.
David Trulli is represented by the Robert Berman Gallery in Santa
Monica, California.
