Virginia Overton (b.1971, Tennessee, United States) lives and works in New York. She
creates sculpture and installation, repurposing materials commonly associated with factories, farms, and construction. By means of both subtle and drastic interventions, Overton recontextualizes these ordinary objects, revealing their intrinsic properties which highlights the wear accrued by passing time. Many of her works are assembled with industrial materials that have been reconfigured to take the composition of naturalistic forms.

In 2022, Overton had solo exhibitions at Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art, London, UK (2022) and Frist Art Museum, Nashville, TN. She was included in the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, The Milk of Dreams, curated by Cecilia Alemani (2022) and commissioned by the Queens Museum (New Y ork) and the LaGuardia Arts Program to create and install a permanent installation at the Delta Terminal at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York. First exhibited at the Venice Biennale, the concrete Tulip will be exhibited in Orbetello with Hypermaremma Spring 2023. Autumn 2023, Overton will mount a solo presentation of outdoor works at Monteverdi, Italy.
