Mutineer
2022
Mutineer commands attention through its vertical thrust and the interplay of materials that define Brad Howe's mature practice. Standing nearly two meters tall, this 2022 work combines stainless steel with urethane to produce a sculptural form that oscillates between industrial precision and organic gesture. The polished and matte surfaces catch and diffuse light differently throughout the day, ensuring the piece reads as a living presence rather than a static object. Howe's formal vocabulary here is both assertive and playful, the title suggesting an act of defiance that is embodied in the sculpture's dynamic, upward-reaching composition. Designed to thrive in outdoor environments, Mutineer is built to withstand the elements without sacrificing visual sophistication. The choice of stainless steel as a primary material speaks to durability, while the urethane components introduce color and warmth that temper the harder metallic qualities. Howe has spent decades refining a language that borrows from constructivism and mid-century abstraction while remaining firmly contemporary, and this work demonstrates that synthesis with particular confidence. The sculpture's proportions, roughly two and a half times as tall as it is wide, give it a commanding silhouette that reads well across open spaces such as gardens, terraces, and architectural courtyards. For collectors seeking a work that brings sustained visual energy to a site, Mutineer represents an especially strong acquisition. Howe's sculptures are held in significant public and private collections internationally, and his ability to balance geometric rigor with expressive vitality has earned him a lasting reputation among serious buyers of contemporary sculpture. Signed by the artist, this work arrives as a rare opportunity to place a defining example of Howe's practice in an outdoor setting where it can be experienced fully and continuously.
