Born in Santa Barbara, California in 1959, Byron studied Environmental Studies at the University of California at Santa Barbara and Applied Art and Design at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. After a lengthy career as a freelance illustrator and printmaker, he turned his full attention to painting in 2000. Byron moved to Chicago in 1986, where he currently lives and works. "Byron Gin's world is captured in his paintings through a careful study of the simple and ordinary. Coffee cups, pencils, and rubberbands are his inspiration. Incredibly textured fields of color surround these objects and bring meaning and importance to something that most of us would never give the time to stop and study. Byron's paintings become an experience in meditation. They are spare and ambiguous, simple and complex, aggressive and subdued" |
