Trey Hurst is a Bangkok-based visual artist and designer whose work bridges the gap between abstract expression and structured pattern-making. Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, his artistic journey has taken him across disciplines, from architecture to fine art, shaping a distinct visual language that explores memory, materiality, and process.

Artistic Approach
Trey’s art revolves around the repetition of forms, colors, and textures, creating a rhythmic dialogue between order and chaos. His intricate mark-making process is deeply intuitive, influenced by both personal experiences and the architectural landscapes he has encountered throughout his career.

Through his use of handmade Saa paper, raw canvas, and layered ink, Trey explores the relationship between control and spontaneity. Each brushstroke is a moment in time—an imprint of memory translated into visual form.

Inspiration & Background
With a background in architecture, Trey approaches composition with a structured yet organic sensibility. His works often draw inspiration from textile traditions, urban grids, and natural textures, resulting in pieces that feel both familiar and dynamic.

His exploration of memory and place is evident in his layering techniques, where patterns seem to shift and dissolve, much like fragmented recollections. This sense of movement gives his work a meditative quality, inviting viewers to find their own interpretations within the intricate details.

Exhibitions & Recognition
Trey’s work has been exhibited internationally, with showcases highlighting his evolving visual language and deep engagement with materiality. His ability to blend structure with emotion makes his art both thought-provoking and visually compelling.
