Bryton

Bryton is a neurodivergent emerging artist from Salt Lake City who works primarily with sharpies on paper.  He is intrigued with advertisements, baseball, billboards, birthdays, community magazines, holidays, important historical dates, musical theater, shamrocks, St. Patrick’s Day, the University of Utah, Utah, and written words. He draws avidly, making dozens of drawings in one studio day, based on the things in which he is intrigued.

Bryton enjoys drawing symbols and writing words for those symbols. Recently, his work has featured the state of Utah, the University of Utah logo, and shamrocks. He enjoys drawing symbols repeatedly and at last count, he had over one hundred shamrock drawings. Bryton returns to and reworks previous drawings by coloring in shapes and adding words. All his finished drawings are meant to be seen together. Since he has thousands of drawings, the impact of his work is best presented in installations.

Bryton has exhibited his art at Art Access Gallery in Salt Lake City, the Downtown Artist’s Collective in Salt Lake City, the Salt Lake City Main Public Library, and Utah Valley University in Provo, Utah. An article was written about him in SLUG Magazine. Bryton works with his mentor, Kristina Lenzi, in her studio in the Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah.
