ARTIST STATEMENT​“If we are to engage in the project of self-edification, the evolution of self, the enterprise is tied to our imagination. As Richard Rorty indicates, imagination is bound by our vocabulary, and it is in the growth of vocabulary we should focus. Vocabulary is tied to experience, and it is in energized moments of exposure to strangeness that our vocabulary expands. Encountering strangeness stretches and expands our self-image and seeds the rich potential for our collective conversations.” ​​Brad Howe began his career in Brazil after studying history at the University of Sao Paulo. His work presents the influence of inquiry into the aesthetics of various cultures and distinct movements in the continuum of art history. Howe’s work continues to connect with international communities, exhibiting and completing site-specific commissions both in the US and abroad. Known for his sculpture practice, Howe’s focus also includes the representation of objects through diverse means, including photography.​ Born: Riverside, California​Residence: Los Angeles, California​Education:Stanford University, Stanford, CaliforniaUniversity of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil SELECTED PUBLIC & CORPORATE COLLECTIONSAllergan Corporation, Irvine, CaliforniaArario Industries, Cheon-Shi, South KoreaBachem California Inc., Torrance, CaliforniaBaxter Healthcare Corporation, Irvine, CaliforniaBeechcraft Corporation, Van Nuys, CaliforniaBirtcher Corporation, Irvine, California​Boehringer Ingelheim, Biberach, GermanyBoehringer Ingelheim, Ridgefield, ConnecticutCarl Bean AIDS Center, Los Angeles, CaliforniaCedars-Sinai Hospital, Los Angeles, CaliforniaChandler Properties, Los Angeles, CaliforniaCity of Hope, Duarte, CaliforniaCity of Montebello, Transportation Building, Montebello, CaliforniaCity of Santa Fe Springs, CaliforniaCity of West Hollywood, CaliforniaColegio Nacional de Educacion Profesional Tecnica- Administrative Campus, Toluca, MexicoConcord Property Corporation, San Antonio, TexasCrocker Museum of Art, Sacramento, CaliforniaCupertino Housing Partners, Cupertino, CaliforniaDuncan Aviation, Lincoln, NebraskaEdificio Siglum, SARE Corporation, Mexico City, MexicoEdison International, Rosemead, CaliforniaEdwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California Eisenhower Medical Center, Rancho Mirage, CaliforniaEquity Office, Atlanta, GeorgiaGeorgia International Convention Center, Atlanta, GeorgiaHeising-Simons Foundation, San Francisco, CaliforniaHilton Caribe, San Juan, Puerto RicoHonolulu Museum of Art, Honolulu, HawaiiHoulihan Lokey, Los Angeles, CaliforniaIntuit, Reno, NevadaJesuit Dallas Museum, Dallas, Texas Katell Properties, Los Angeles, CaliforniaKaiser Permanente, Baldwin Park, CaliforniaKitakyushu City International Center, Kitakyushu, JapanKimball International, Inc., Los Angeles, CaliforniaKreissparkasse, Biberach, GermanyLancaster Museum of Art and History, Lancaster, CaliforniaLa Fundidora, Centro Cultural, Monterrey, NL, MexicoLandesbank Baden-Wurttemberg, Stuttgart, GermanyLockton Insurance, Los Angeles, CaliforniaLord Baltimore Properties, Ontario, CaliforniaLARC Foundation, Saugus, California Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, CaliforniaMedix Mihagino, Kitakyushu, JapanMercure Hotel, Sao Paulo, BrazilM.G.M.
