Greetings!

TRAVIS SHILLING
Colorado
November 7 - December 5 . 2020


Shilling's Colorado introduces a collection of rich new oils in bold strokes of consummate paint. Each movement rests upon the other, shaping visionary scenes that are alternately affectionate, otherworldly, comic and breathtaking. The titles themselves add poetic value that gestures toward the depth of the storytelling that exists within each piece.

Colorado opens during a momentous time in Travis Shilling's career. Among many notable recent events, Shilling’s first public exhibition in the United States was met with acclaim by both patrons and press, and has subsequently seen its works acquired by significant private and public collections. Shilling receives further praise this month in Artist's Magazine as they profile the influence of heredity in both Shilling and Picasso's artistic families.

Shilling’s "imaginative works...reflect his interest in storytelling."

TRAVIS SHILLING I Can't Leave You Behind (2020) 16 x 20 inches, oil on canvas

TRAVIS SHILLING Thunderbird Island (2020) 11 x 14 inches, oil on canvas

The solo exhibition of intimately scaled works were notably produced in the artist’s home as opposed to in studio, adding to their collectable nature. The domestic intimacy of the home meets with even greater familiarity as the exhibition’s title is drawn from the artist’s middle name, Colorado.
