ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Brad Howe is a Los Angeles based artist who began his sculpture career in Brazil. As a student of International Relations at Stanford University, he attended the University of Sao Paulo to specialize in Brazilian Affairs, which led to the discovery of art and architecture. His first exhibitions were in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. To date he has exhibited in over sixteen countries worldwide and his work is in collections in over 32 countries. His career has been international from the beginning, as much in the aesthetic influences that shaped his artistic language as well as the wide-ranging places and art communities he has sought to engage with his sculptures. In September of 1999, the book “Serious Exuberance” was published internationally, examining over ten years of Howe’s work.
Brad Howe’s most recent works include a continuing series of monumental sculpture commissions for the City of Los Angeles, M.I.T. in Cambridge, MA, the Georgia International Convention Center and an eighteen-foot stainless steel sculpture for a client in Biberach, Germany. He also maintains a schedule of international exhibitions, most recently in France and Germany. Brad is presently completing his new sculpture studio on his property in Malibu, where he lives with his wife Alice, and daughter Bruna.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
“My sculptures examine vitality and celebrate beauty. Their structures are composed with actual or implied kinetic properties aimed at exposing energized moments between the forces of attraction and repulsion, between gravity and weightlessness, between balance and imbalance, between linear and curvilinear, between connection and disconnection, and between strain and serenity. Their aim is to capture the vigor of life and radiate with unabashed potentiality. These are the issues that stimulate me as a person and as an artist, and that are discussed over and over with those who sit with me at my fire and with those at whose fire I find myself sitting.”
