About
Having apprenticed sculpture in Germany and the US, they furthered their studies at the University of Wisconsin. Brian continues to build upon their understanding through research and interviews, ongoing curatorial and collaborative projects, teaching, forging their own tools, and developing more sustainable methods of art production in the studio. Brian has exhibited their work in the United States and Europe, and is committed to creating further opportunities for artists and researchers in their community through the Alluvial Project, an artist-run project space and gallery.
Artist Statement
A multimedia artist primarily sculpting in marble, Brian Barreto pursues the human form as a locus between identity, gender, and the inimitable joy of belonging. A parallel practice of abstraction is founded upon listening — investigating the musicality of repetition and multiplicity in open edition works. Current series explore transformational bodyscapes, migration, reliquary, longform engagements, and cultural fragmentation.
