Studio 27.28 presents Ed Trask and Mindy Kober

About Ed Trask:
While in school at Virginia Commonwealth University, Ed Trask spent every waking hour painting & playing music in the mid 80’s Richmond punk scene. By his junior year, after many attempts for gallery attention, he decided to make the many dilapidated buildings surrounding VCU his gallery, illegally painting directly on the buildings.

“I paint a symbolic portrait of themes dealing with preservation, spirituality, and a social, moral loss of history in a consumer driven age. There is a conflict between composition, surface, and representation, and a battle between an almost graffiti like graphic flatness with a heavy-handed painterly approach.” - Trask

Ed’s work has been collected into many permanent collections including Gap, Capitol One, Fortune Magazine, N.B.C. Philip Morris, Media General & Play Inc.

When:
The opening is Saturday, April 4th from 6-9pm and the show will run until April 26th.

Where:
2728 Girard Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19130
