ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: Matthew Byrd

Matthew Byrd

USA

Stay：2025 8/13-9/24

Sculpture. Primarily in stone.

Matt Byrd is a Raleigh-based sculptor whose abstract stone carvings express the wondrous ephemera of nature. Working primarily in found granite, his interlocking configurations — featuring stones painstakingly carved and textured for hours by hand — show his eye for pleasing proportions and delicate balance. For Byrd, solid construction is key, as is maintaining an experimental approach to the beloved craft of hand chiseling. Trained as a stone mason by his mentor, Brooks Burleson, Byrd has been featured in numerous high-profile design publication including Sight Unseen, Surface online, Dwell, AD Germany, AD India, Dezeen, and Luxe, among others. He recently completed a six-month residency at the prestigious Centro Internazionale di Scultura in Peccia, Switzerland. He is currently represented by Love House, Areden + White Gallery, and Blue Spiral 1.

ローリーを拠点とする彫刻家。抽象的な石の彫刻を通じ、自然の不思議な儚さを表現している。主に花崗岩を使い、手作業で何時間もかけ丁寧に彫り、テクスチャーを施した石をつなぎ合わせた作品構成は、彼の美しい比率や繊細なバランス感覚を示している。メンターのブルックス・バーリーソンによって石工として訓練され、多数の著名なデザイン誌で紹介されている他、アメリカで３つのギャラリーに所属している。
