Jeffrey Sarmiento

In his work, Sarmiento attempts to make connections between complex and disparate histories plundering the artifacts of culture and mix-mastering the exotic and familiar into a construction thick with possibility.

Sarmiento is exceedingly clever, bringing an academic’s rigor to a maker’s craft. The artist’s work reveals a keen understanding of the issues in the current dialogue on contemporary art as well as a desire to bring those issues to bear on his sculpture without subverting his studio practice with meaningless gestures.
