Trenton Doyle Hancock's second solo show at James Cohan suggested that the artist is weathering his early over-exposure fairly well, but that some reassessment might be in order.
At 25 Hancock was among the youngest artists ever in the Whitney Biennial (2000) and the youngest recipient of a Joan Mitchell Foundation grant.
Hancock's Mound children, notably, all have fl and white racoon-tail-striped bodies, which can be read as a quiet reference to the racial slur 'coon'.

 CMA Exhibition Feature : About Trenton Doyle Hancock
Hancock tempers his examination of weighty issues with an intuitive and inspired working process to embed surprising elements and images within his densely populated stories.
Hancock, who was born in 1974, exploits an occasionally crude visual style to activate his allegorical tales.
Simultaneously, Hancock appears to channel everyone from Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock, with his all-over ethos, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns for their concern with the signs of the everyday, and Robert Crumb, Henry Darger, and artists of Chicagos “Hairy Who” for their fearless incorporation of funky imagery and nonsensical visual metaphor.

 dallasobserver.com | News | The Basquiat Syndrome
Hancock is the beneficiary of a watered-down version of Basquiat syndrome, the art world's peculiarly cynical twist on affirmative action.
The problem is, Hancock isn't being presented or evaluated as a fl artist--a decision that seems unfair, since he doesn't look like someone whose art is likely to matter or even make sense outside that context.
Describing Hancock as "one of the most exciting discoveries in all my travels," Auping uses language vaguely reminiscent of 19th-century white explorers: "When you are used to looking at a lot of strange art, it's not often you can say you've come across something truly weird.

 Reviews: Trenton Doyle Hancock
As a chapter in the Hancock autobiography, this is a real blast because we get to see the artist's guilt as his ego expands to reach an accord with his career's success.
Whatever it is, it has not escaped Trenton Doyle Hancock who has proclaimed his desire to rekindle his passion for the cartoon figures that launched him on the road to success at -- judging from some works in his exhibition at the Texas Fine Arts Association -- what must have been age ten.
Hancock appears quite deft at weaving narrative lines to link elements and issues within his paintings, as well as to link the paintings to one another.

With Trenton Doyle Hancock's work, I begin to care in late 1999, and care a lot by 2001.
Hancock's 1997 works are adept at using a vocabulary of expressionist paint slathers, pop-art collage appropriation, and pseudo-folky lettering and imagery.
For Hancock, messy collage is a metaphor for an untidy psyche, literally torn and pasted together again, oozing like a poorly healed wound.

 The Austin Chronicle Arts: Seeing Through Animation Darkly: The Blanton Museum's "Cartoon Noir"
Fighting for the Legend's recently departed soul are "Painter," represented by strokes of bright color, and "Loid," the fl and white text that infiltrates the branches and trees.
Although Blake, Hancock, Herrera, and Gallagher reference cartoons and animations differently and at times even tangentially, they all rely on the forms' associative and seductive power.
Perhaps then the question is not what effect cartoons and animation have made, but the manner in which this imagery has infiltrated the very language with which we speak and make sense of the world.
