Chris Byrd
Christopher Byrd was born in Melbourne, Florida, and lives and works in Miami, Florida. Byrd received a Master of Fine Art from American University (2004) Washington, DC, and a Bachelor of Fine Art (1992) from the Atlanta College of Art, Atlanta, Georgia. The artist’s work is composed of a rigorously structured geometric abstract language that is simultaneously hard-edged, ordered and rational, yet fluid, lively and emotional. With such a dualistic approach, the artist explores multi-faceted ideas of Beauty through a dynamic allegorical language. Selected solo exhibitions include “ From Observation” (2020) Dimensions Variable, Miami, Florida, and “Adventureland” (2006) David Castillo, Miami, Florida. Selected group exhibitions include “Interaction” (2019) Art and Cultural Center, Hollywood, Florida “I See The Spotlight In You” (2018) Emerson Dorsch, Miami, Florida and “Searching For Love And Fire” (2006) David Castillo, Miami, Florida.
