David Trulli

David Trulli works primarily in scratchboard, scratching images into ink-coated, clay-surfaced wood panels that are often quite large by traditional standards. A former cinematographer, Trulli blends that experience with his admiration of master wood-engravers of the 1930s to produce intricate pieces. He compares working in scratchboard to lighting a film set: “It starts out black and you add light.” David was born in New York, currently resides in Los Angeles, and has a studio in Hollywood. His work has been shown in LA, NY, London, Miami and many other cities. He is represented by the Robert Berman Gallery in Santa Monica, CA and the Foley Gallery in New York, NY.
