Adam Trest, Dive, acrylic on canvas, 2023

Adam Trest American/Mississippi, b. 1986 "Dive" acrylic on canvas 2023, signed, monogrammed and dated lower right, printed label with artist and title on reverse of frame, framed. Note: Louisiana-born, Mississippi-based painter Adam Trest's works have graced the walls of museums and galleries, and Trest is a familiar face on the HGTV show Home Town, where he often collaborates with Erin and Ben Napier in creating commissioned pieces for client's newly restored homes. Radiant in color, his canvases capture the native flora and fauna of the Gulf South in the most vibrant and enthralling of ways. Trest's carefully composed paintings are teaming with life: the backgrounds punctuated with spirals of wind or recurring patterns of leaves and petals, while animals take center stage moving within their landscapes to the rhythm of the nature surrounding them. In Trest's works the negative space is as important as the subject matter, and his method of reverse-painting by starting with the foreground and carefully filling in the background produces crisp and clear lines—a nod to his experience as an illustrator and designer. The resulting effect is reminiscent of Walter Anderson's lyrical watercolors and linocuts, yet wholly Trest's own unique and innovative viewpoint.
