Brad Howe — Panchito
Brad Howe

Panchito

2016

Panchito is a wall-mounted sculptural relief composed of interlocking stainless steel, aluminum, and urethane elements arranged in a dynamic geometric composition. Howe's characteristic vocabulary of curved and angular forms creates a rhythmic interplay of positive and negative space, with each material contributing its own tonal and textural quality to the whole. The polished surfaces catch and redistribute ambient light in ways that shift depending on the viewer's position, giving the work a quietly kinetic presence despite its fixed form. Brad Howe has spent decades developing a sculptural language rooted in the traditions of geometric abstraction and constructivism, yet his work consistently resists any sense of rigidity or coldness. Panchito exemplifies this balance, combining precise fabrication with an overall composition that feels organic and playful. The title itself hints at a warmth and personality that runs counter to the industrial materials, inviting the viewer to engage with the work on an emotional as well as a visual level. Measuring 71.1 by 71.1 by 30.5 centimeters, Panchito is well suited for a refined domestic or corporate interior where it can serve as a considered focal point without overwhelming a space. The work is signed by the artist and is available through Adamar Fine Arts. Collectors drawn to the legacies of figures such as Charles Perry or Donald Judd, yet seeking a voice that is distinctly contemporary and humanist in sensibility, will find Howe's practice a compelling and rewarding addition to any serious collection.
