TRAVIS COLLINSON: Paintings and Drawings
January 12 – February 16
January 12 – February 16
Maloney Fine Art is
pleased to present an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Travis Collinson,
the artist’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles.
Drawing from the
influences of both classical painting and minimal abstraction, Travis
Collinson’s work creates a framework for people, nature and space to exist in
an anxious state of entropy. With a
skewed perspective and distortion of unassuming subjects, objects and
environments, the artist’s compositions are at once familiar and enigmatic. Collinson’s painting and drawing style,
influence by the early work of Lucien Freud, juxtaposes near-photographic rendering,
subtle exaggeration and a pallet of muted tones to create remarkably quiet
scenes inhabited by sublime, psychological subjects.
Collinson has shown
throughout California, most recently at the Berkeley Art Museum exhibition ‘Hauntology’
and Eli Ridgeway Gallery in San Francisco.
His work is in the permanent collection of the Berkeley Art Museum as
well as numerous private collections.
Collinson holds a BFA in painting from California State University at
Fullerton.

Travis Collinson lives and
works in San Francisco.
