The large-scale, abstract expressionist works of Byron Keith Byrd are brilliantly reminiscent of the passionate art that inspired the original 1940's school. His vibrant paintings pull the observer into his own personal language that speaks to the collective unconscious with bold, primitive markings.
The extremely evolved palette references both De Kooning and Mitchell in its daring interplay of earthy underpainting juxtaposed with exciting, acidic layers of color. The completed creations are literally visual feasts that intrigue the viewer with their infinite points of interest and electric compositions.
His art is included in various public and private collections throughout the world and he has authored several illustrated books with Rizzoli International Publications.
