El Pinacito

2016

El Pinacito is a compact yet commanding sculptural work by Brad Howe, completed in 2016 and constructed from a dynamic combination of stainless steel, aluminum, and urethane. Measuring 71.1 by 73.7 by 30.5 centimeters, the piece exemplifies Howe's signature approach to three-dimensional form, where industrial materials are coaxed into compositions that feel simultaneously precise and kinetic. The interplay between the cool reflectivity of the steel and aluminum and the chromatic depth of the urethane finish gives the work a visual energy that shifts as the viewer moves around it, rewarding close attention from multiple vantage points. Howe, who is recognized internationally for his boldly engineered sculptures, brings to El Pinacito the same rigorous material intelligence that has defined his practice across decades of exhibition. The work carries an inherent tension between geometric structure and organic expressiveness, a hallmark quality in Howe's output that has attracted serious collectors drawn to sculpture that occupies the space between Minimalism and expressive abstraction. The modest scale of this particular piece makes it well-suited for both intimate residential settings and refined institutional environments, offering collectors the opportunity to live closely with a work of considerable formal sophistication. El Pinacito is signed by the artist and is currently available through Adamar Fine Arts. For collectors seeking a strong example of Howe's mature sculptural voice, this work represents a well-considered acquisition at a scale that remains accessible without sacrificing presence or complexity.
