PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF A DISTINGUISHED FAMILy Gabriel Barredo (1957 - 2020) Kinetic Art brass, resin, metal, electric bulb 30" x 22 1/2" x 10" (76 cm x 57 cm x 25 cm) P 120,000 Provenance Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner Pioneer of kinetic sculpture in the Philippines, Gabriel Barredo (1957 - 2020), thrived through his innate artistry and imagination in creating his magically immersive grand works. Everyday objects turned into a parade of familiar and peculiar images; in a profile interview, he explains, “I have this forte for using found objects, because early on I couldn’t afford to buy the right materials, so I improvise.” Hence, from building them through months of bricolage, sketching, and painting, elevating his sculptures to almost theatrical lengths, immersive for the viewer, featuring numerous large and small pieces, some are simple drawings, others motorized, along with object-led side narratives - with all of it accompanied by sound and light - his works pulsated with the audiences’ heartbeat, then dragged it faster, encouraging the viewers to rethink form, structure and experience. Barredo’s works were meant to create entire opuses.
