Assaf Evron is an artist based in Chicago. His work investigates the nature of vision and the ways in which it is reflected in socially constructed structures, where he applies photographic thinking in various two and three-dimensional media. His work is looking for the space in between the object and its phenomena, and for tensions between the image and its physical materiality, as well as their trajectories through the history of art and architecture. His work offers a kind of sensible rationality that appears as mute realism and unfolds into multiple layers of meaning. Through the collapsed relationship between culture and nature his work opens a conversation around language, experience, and geology, in light of the loss and melancholy inherent to the Anthropocene.
Evron's work has been exhibited internationally in galleries and museums. Evron holds an MA from The Cohn Institute and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), where he currently teaches.
