Virginia Overton's work comprises installation, sculpture and photography, often beginning intuitively as a direct response to her physical presence in a particular space.
Notions of equilibrium, weight and gravity are foregrounded in her carefully balanced assemblages, which harness what she has described as the “natural push and pull in materials.” Overton was born in Nashville, Tennessee and lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Recent solo exhibitions include White Cube, London (2015), Freymond-Guth Fine Arts, Zurich (2015), Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (2014), Westfälischer Kunstverein, Munster (2013-4), Kunsthalle Bern (2013), The Power Station, Dallas (2013) and the Power House, Memphis (2007).
