Trust Me, When, No
1963
A bold and irreverent mixed media work on canvas, this piece by William Nelson Copley channels his signature wit and pop sensibility through fragmented language and graphic imagery. The truncated, enigmatic phrase embedded in the composition invites the viewer to grapple with themes of desire, deception, and communication, hallmarks of Copley's playful yet subversive artistic vision. Layered textures and vivid contrasts animate the surface, reflecting his lifelong engagement with Surrealism and American popular culture.
