vernon byron
Vernon M. Byron, is a conceptual artist based in the city of Newburgh. He primarily works with video, sculpture and installation. In his work he investigates the visual nature of transitory phenomena, magnifying common materials, substances and structures into indexes of growing complexity through spatial and temporal manipulation. Conceptually, Vernon’s work is an exploration of the intersection between matter, energy, space/time and society and how these fundamental aspects of reality shape the human experience.
Vernon was born and raised in the Hudson Valley region of New York. Much of his artistic practice has been influenced by the unique socioeconomic conditions of the towns and cities that line the northeastern rust belt and the topography of the Hudson River Valley that encompasses it. Vernon finds himself at the interstice between industrial decay and the constant evolution of the natural environment.
