Book desription: New York: Spanierman Gallery, 2008. Very good. Panels sturdy, bright, and white. 2008 Brochure to accompany the Jan. - Feb. 2008 exhibition. 4-panel brochure (8 panels total), measuring approximately 8.5" x 11". With color photos. Includes a 2-panel essay on the artist by Katherine Ashe. Trilling's imaginative narrative scenes evoke the tradition of Magic Realism. Well established since the 1970s for her mixed media sculptures, Trilling expanded her vision into painting in 2001, inspired in part by the events of September 11th and their aftermath. Soon her oils took on a life of their own. Populated by a cast of animals, toys, and magical beings similar to those in her sculptures, her narrative paintings evoke the fairytales of the Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen. Their metaphysical aspects suggest the magical worlds of Alice in Wonderland and the Lord of the Rings. Inviting us in with their seeming innocence and charm, Trilling’s works gradually unfold into a more unsettling and haunting underpinning. Their multiple layers probe the subconscious and reflect the illusive, shifting, and troubling nature of contemporary experience. While enigmatic, Trilling’s images are also at times allegorical, referring to aspects of the politics and culture of society today.. Very Good/No Jacket. 8.5" x 11". Ephemera.
