Abram Deslauriers is a visual, sound and performance artist based in San Francisco.  Deslauriers earned his MFA in Craft/Material Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University and studied at University of Washington as an undergrad in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts. 

His art explores identity, perception and the pursuit of expressing the authentic self. Often work is presented in abstracted forms, complex networks of lines or fields of rhythm that invites viewers to oscillate perception between minutia and the whole. It speaks to the beauty of personhood that cannot be summed up in words, that is ever shifting in day-to-day presentation of one’s self in the chaotic speed of connectivity. The work itself feels complete, yet is never in a final state, a composition that can be scaled and rearranged. A manifestation of personhood's ineffable beauty, a poetic commentary on how our identities adapt and shift our relationships in response to an ever-changing world.

Deslauriers is also a founding member of a collective known as Flock the Optic [FtheO]. By massive output of art spectacles tied to performative interventions, FtheO brings folx of all ages together to activate art.
