Eamon Ore-Giron

Eamon Ore-Giron (b. 1973, Tucson, USA) blends a wide-range of visual styles and influences in the brightly colored abstract geometric paintings for which he is best known. Referencing indigenous and craft traditions, such as Native American medicine wheels and Amazonian tapestries, as well as 20th-century avant-gardes, from Russian Suprematism to Latin American Concrete Art, his paintings move between temporalities and resonate across cultural contexts. Ore-Giron also works in video and music, and his interdisciplinary projects explore the interrelationship of sound, color, rhythm, and pattern, and make manifest a history of transnational exchange.

Ore-Giron has exhibited nationally and internationally and is featured in the Whitney Biennial 2024: Even Better Than The Real Thing (on view March 20–August 11, 2024). A 20-year survey of his painting practice was presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver in 2022 and traveled to The Contemporary Austin in 2023. His work, as a solo practitioner and as part of collaborative endeavors, has also been shown at the Anderson Collection at Stanford University (2021); San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (2019); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2018); LAXART, Los Angeles (2015); OFF Biennale Cairo (2015); Pérez Art Museum Miami (2013); Los Angeles County Museum of Art (2008); El Museo Universitario de Ciencias y Arte (MUCA), Roma, Mexico City (2006); and in Prospect.3, New Orleans (2014). Ore-Giron has been selected to realize major public commissions in New York and Los Angeles, and he was the 2020–2022 Presidential Visiting Artist at Stanford University. Ore-Giron received a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and an MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles.
