Brad Howe, born in 1959 in Riverside, California, started his career in Brazil, after studying history in Sao Paolo. Recognised as a leading contemporary California artist and sculptor, he is best known for his large-scale public and private works employing solid materials such as steel and aluminum, juxtaposed with vibrant colours and shape. Howe's exuberant and pervasive work is grounded in a unique thought-provoking philosophy and vision, with themes that are cyclical throughout his career. From the start, Howe has always taken his calling as an abstract artist, seeking poetry and unpredictable formulations. This is a survey of his expansive work that follows the key themes he has consistently explored through his career. He plays off juxtapositions, contradictions, and coincidences.
This expansive volume follows key themes that Brad Howe has consistently explored throughout his career. His imagery plays off juxtapositions, contradictions, and coincidences. In this book, a woven tapestry emerges of Howe's work over time, reflecting ever-present spatial questions and thematic explorations.
Brad Howe, born 1959 in Riverside, California, started his career in Brazil, after studying history in São Paulo. Recognized as a leading contemporary California artist and sculptor, he is best known for his large-scale public and private works; employing rigid materials, stainless steel and aluminum, animated by his vibrant color and challenging structural solutions. Howe's exuberant and pervasive work is grounded in a unique thought-provoking vision and philosophy. From the start, Howe has always taken his calling as an abstract artist, seeking poetry and unpredictable formulations. The interplay of his lyrical shapes and use of color are his signature characteristic. Sometimes his mood is vibrant and joyful with references to Calder, Miro, and Frank Stella, and then shifting to deeper explorations more subtle and restrained, with influences pointing to Brancusi, Arp, David Smith or Ellsworth Kelly. The resulting three-dimensional works are a dance of atoms, a romance between shapes, negative space and their playful shadows.
The book is to be experienced as a symphonic arrangement of multiple voices. Sections, like instruments, come together in shared time, each instrumental group playing different narratives, creating a complex journey of rhythms and textures, functioning as a collective, contingent on each other, at times harmonious and resonant, at times enigmatic and dissonant.
