Gabriel Barredo contains a microcosm in his sculptural installation. Following Adamadame (2017), the artist’s West Bund Art and Design Fair presentation, Madamadam continues the artist’s intricate commentary on the fluidity of gender, especially felt in contemporary times. Characterized by horror vacui, he fills all crevices of the human profile with symbolism and images that point towards the workings of the human psyche. Made of paper cut-outs with art historical references, devices and other materials, the artist exposes the mind’s occupations in this singular lit panel with kinetic elements.
