“Drive-Thru”, a series of new oil paintings by Marc Trujillo is on view at the Hackett-Freedman Gallery in San Francisco.
Picking up food from a window is an experience that by design is not memorable. The goal is speed and once the order has been filled the witness is gone. A reminiscence of the affair is set off almost entirely by problems with service. In these paintings, Trujillo offers a long look at the transient rendezvous.
The artist does not pass judgment on the eating habits of the viewer. This approach allows for many readings of the content. One that worked in the fast food industry sees a prison while someone seeking accelerated nourishment envisions an oasis.
