Inspired by Robert Longo's groundbreaking work "Men in the Cities," David Trulli takes it further out with (space) MEN IN THE CITIES.
"With each passing day we all feel a little more untethered. No stars or landmarks guide us in our new world" says Trulli, "The stress causes us fits, makes us semi-conscious, or in my case, makes me bounce back and forth between the two. It's dizzying."

Trulli adds: "Many days I’m ready to take the next spaceship out of here.”

David Trulli works in scratchboard: a white clay-coated board, covered with black ink. Fine knives are used to delicately scrape away the ink, creating the image. A former cinematographer, Trulli compares working in scratchboard to lighting a film set: “it starts out black and you add light.”

David Trulli was born in New York and currently lives and works in Hollywood.
