Untitled mixed media 27" x 12" x 15" (68 cm x 30 cm x 38 cm) An artist well known for his sculptures and other mixed media presentations, Gabriel Barredo uses found objects as materials and structure to bring a new life to his art pieces. Each of his sculpture pieces mix together various elements of cultural and religious themes with recycled components of different reused objects that range from large to small and still manages to convey beautiful works with deeper meaning and emotions. This particular piece is no different, in that Barredo continues to use his signature style and technique of found materials integrated into his sculptures. The piece itself shows a man in a crucified position against the face of a woman decorated in a crown of ornaments and jewelry looking down on him from a bright circular background. Two smaller faces are placed on both sides below the crucified man as the base of the piece is surrounded with crucifixes. It depicts religious imagery and a hint of southeast Asian cultural elements. Metal pieces of screws, wires, springs, and other pieces found from a lamp have been shaped together to create this scene. Barredo shows his skill by having a dynamic of realism through the use of reused materials that emphasize the raw and heavier religious meanings being conveyed from the artwork itself. Works such as this show the deeper understanding and complex techniques that Gabriel Barredo is known for.
