Jennifer Trouton
Jennifer Trouton is a gifted painter whose subject matter is again popular culture.
Her recent body of work deals with the loss of a generation and their culture and for herself a loss of innocence. The sad realisation that she will never again explore and adventure with wonderment all the peculiarities of her grandparent's home created a sense of sadness when passing mantels in empty dwellings and she realised that this was because they embodied her recollections of childhood, of growing up in rural Ireland.
Jennifer Trouton is based in Belfast and has been exhibiting her work nationally and internationally since graduating with Honours in Fine Art in 1996. Her work has received continued support from the Arts Council with her most recent awards being a funded residency at the Banff Centre of Arts in Banff Canada and a materials grant for the production of her new body of work.
Previous awards include a 3 month residency at the 18th Street Art Complex in Santa Monica USA with a solo show in the Los Angeles Biennial, the COE (Clare Morris Open Exhibition, Ireland) Adjudicators’ Award and the Belfast young contempories award. Trouton’s work is held in numerous public collections including the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, The University of Ulster and British Midland Airlines. She has recently completed a specially commissioned series of oils for the permanent collection of ESB, the Republic of Ireland’s National Utilities Company.
Jennifer Trouton currently serves as Chair on the board of directors for Belfast’s long established and respected Queen Street Studios where she is completing her next body of work.
We all do fade as a leaf
The price of wisdom is beyond rubies
