Shawn Solus has maintained a lifelong commitment to artistic practice. Originally from Salt Lake City, he studied music and visual art at Salt Lake Community College before moving to South Eastern Idaho where in 2015 he received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Idaho State University focused in Printmaking, Painting, and Sculpture. He went on to receive a Master of Fine Arts degree in Visual Art from Boise State University in 2018 with an emphasis in Interdisciplinary Studio Art and Installation. He currently is an Assistant Professor of Art at Idaho State University. He draws from a diverse background embracing craft, invention, abstraction, and experimentation, with a practice including drawing, video, sculpture, and sound. His current work moves between an examination of volatility within and external to infrastructural systems and the entanglements of human and nonhuman ecologies.
