Born in St. Louis in 1927, Ernest Trova has established an international reputation as one of this century’s most important artists. His work occupies a unique position in the history of the creative development of the 20th Century art.

His powerful style and personal iconography have led to his recognition as an insightful interpreter of the condition and position of modern man in the age of technology.

While his early works were influenced by Dubuffet and De Kooning, Trova’s own identity emerged in the early 1960’s with his Study/Falling Man series. The Falling Man image was developed over the next decade and had reappeared in paintings, sculpture and mixed media works throughout his career.

The Falling Man, along with the Abstract Variations, the Profile Cantos and the Gox, represent the principal themes of Trova’s life’s work. His sculpture is included in major museum and private collections throughout the world, and his monumental outdoor pieces form an integral part of many urban landscapes.
