Eamon Ore-Giron is an artist whose practice explores the possibilities of transmutation, how concept and form morph and adapt as they move between languages, cultures, and geographies. Using a vocabulary that consists of geometric forms, Ore-Giron generates a pictorial language that both suggests and rejects representational imagery. Notably influenced by the Latin American traditions of Art Concrete, including but not limited to Kinetic Abstraction, Neo-Constructivism, and Constructivism, Ore-Giron explores the inherent flatness of pictorial space in compositions. He received his BFA at San Francisco Art Institute and MFA from University of California, Los Angeles. He has exhibited at the Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Ballroom Marfa, Texas; Prospect.3, New Orleans; and Pérez Art Museum Miami, among others.
