About

New York Based Trey Abdella’s work reckons with the American dream - pulling out the horror, melancholy and humour in its inadequacies. Blurring the lines between painting, sculpture, and assemblage, Abdella utilizes various innovative techniques to create hyperrealist, mixed-media works.

In The Grinch's Small Heart Grew Three Times That Day, 2023 the painting is interrupted by an opening that reveals a diorama with a heart in a rural home, a cat and a fountain, with snow sprinkled greenhouse, containing a human heart… all meticulously made in with acrylic, resin and fiberglass.
