About

Why this artist matters now

Trevor K. Shimizu is an American visual artist, known for his work as both a painter and video artist. His work is often described as performative in nature because Shimizu uses stories and fantasies from his everyday life as source material for paintings. Since the 1990s, he has made works that focus on self-presentation, often in humorous and self-effacing ways. He lives in Long Island City.
