Travis Somerville is one of the west coast's fastest-rising art stars, first coming to national attention as the winner of the PULSE Prize at the Miami fair in 2006, and following up with a series of remarkable installations at Overtones, Catherine Clark Gallery in SF, and most recently at Otis College in 2009. His omnivorous use of found and recycled materials doubles as both vintage, primary sources and politically-charged imagery expressing the volatile history of American race relations; and as juxtaposed elements in lively, engaging compositions. Mixed media collage, assemblage, and sculptural installation are his forte, as they give him multiple avenues for expressing humor, anger, and insightful correspondences between then and now.
