Michael
Thron

Michael Richard Thron (born 1990) in Stamford CT, he is a MFA Graduate of the University of Maryland, College Park and received his BFA from Syracuse University. His practice investigates materiality, entropy, and negative space as a material and tangible component. Through gathering, manipulation, and replication his work acts as a conduit to examine the evolution of the self, exploring how a sculpture can exist “in” space or “as” space. It sometimes acts as reminder of personal identity, memory, the human condition. He is a reward recipient of The Mid-Atlantic Sculpture Prize and Daniel Ohlke Award as well has been a resident artist at Salem Art Works. He has exhibited at the Everhart Museum and Katonah Museum of Art, and part of the Studio 80 Sculpture park and St Anselm’s Abby public art collections.
