My
sculptures are composed with vitality and celebrate beauty. Their structures
are composed with actual or implied kinetic properties aimed at exposing
energized moments between connection and disconnection, as well as between
strain and serenity.
Brad
Howe seeks to build on the tradition of geometric abstraction and to sustain
that tradition as a living, viable discourse. His playful mobiles, wall
hangings, furniture, and freestanding sculptures combine the dynamic planar
relationships and solid coloration associated with post-cubist modernism.
Their playful exuberance, however, owes more to the artistic climates
of twenty-first century L.A. and São Paolo, where Howe initiated
his artistic career.The
humor, inventiveness, and versatility of Howe's artistic process are perfectly
suited for private commissions. This is evidenced in the fact that the
interplay between experimentation in the studio and the unique interests
or needs of his private and commercial clients serves as a vital source
of inspiration. The external parameters that this sort of interaction
poses, allows Howe to approach his process from ever-changing perspectives,
and it allows his stainless steel, steel, or aluminum pieces to take unpredictable
directions.
As
a student of International Relations at Stanford University, Howe attended
the University of São Paolo to specialize in Brazilian Affairs.
It was there that he discovered the passion for art and architecture that
would eventually lead to his first exhibitions. Since then, the largely
autodidactic sculptor has met with overwhelming success. He has exhibited
in over sixteen countries worldwide, and his works have been placed in
collections throughout 32 countries, including most recently, an 80 foot
mobile for the Georgia International Convention Center, an 18 foot stainless
steel sculpture for a corporate client in Bilberach, Germany, as well
as pieces for the City of Los Angeles, and MIT.
