Brent Wadden

Press release

Peres Projects is pleased to present Brent Wadden's (b.1979 in Nova Scotia, CA) sixth solo exhibition with the gallery. 

Wadden describes his abstract woven work as paintings. Through their repeated geometric shapes and symmetry, his paintings present formal and conceptual references to modernist abstraction, while simultaneously challenging the conventions of weaving. His works disclose a duality between the visual rhythm of a machine, and the disruptive trace of the handmade. Working almost entirely with limited quantities of pre-used fibers sourced second hand, Wadden’s choice of materials furthers his complex approach to this traditional art form.
