Roy LaGrone is an American artist whose recent work employs imaging
technologies in the production of photomontage, video installations and
animations. While formally concerned with shifting scale relationships --
fabricating a dramatic sense of depth and movement to the surface -- most of
his works are centered on transforming discarded objects, places and entities
into sacred projections. Recurrent concerns are 21st Century displacement –
recycling, and universal becoming.

“I am questioning whether today’s technology can be optimized to produce
holistic models of healing, empowerment and transcendence,” said LaGrone.
His work has been shown at numerous venues including the Smithsonian
Institution; SIGGRAPH; the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans; and
the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library and Museum, Austin.
The artist currently lives and works in Italy.
