About The Artist
Colby Bird’s prints, photographs, and assemblage sculptures appropriate images and objects that cut across racial, gender, and class lines. By combining the loaded quotidian with sly, art-historical references to Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism, Bird bridges the gap between “high” and “low” culture.
In 2009, Bird had a solo exhibition at CRG Gallery in New York, NY, and in 2010, he was included in a group exhibition at P.S.1 MoMA. In 2011, his photography was included in The Anxiety of Photography at the Aspen Art Museum, CO.
