Breaking away from traditional forms of artistic expression, Gabriel Barredo was an early pioneer of Kinetic art in the Philippines. He is a graduate of the University of Santo Tomas, where he studied both sculpture and advertising. Barredo is primarily known for his chimeric creations, where he incorporates relatively mundane everyday objects, repurposing them through juxtaposition into theatrical and rather unexpected compositions. Individual elements such as machine parts from cars and household items, electric fans, bed springs, bottle caps, conveyor belts and other surprising materials can be found in his works.

His work is strangely beautiful and thought-provoking at the same time, like a fantastic machine whose purpose one does not understand. Yet, one recognises the individual elements of which it is composed in an intrinsic and familiar way. Barredo's work confronts and challenges us to question the consumerism so rampant in our society today. His incredible automatons evoke a playful and spectacular retro-futuristic aesthetic that conveys an unconventional hypnotic beauty.
