Gabriel Peralta is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the emergence of the individual self from ecological and social entanglements. Their sculpture and painting practice appropriates the visual language of restraint and subjugation as socio-political power mechanisms, and uses it to reimagine animal/plant/material bodies as sites for collaborative meaning-making and liberation.
Their work has been exhibited in multiple galleries across Texas, Colorado, Ohio, and in the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art. They have been Artist in Residence at the Tablelands Bioregional Center for Art (TX) in 2022 and the Elsewhere Studios Residency (CO) in 2023.
Originally from the eastern coastal regions of the Deep South, Peralta now lives and works in Lubbock, Texas. They are the Lead Technician for the Art Shop & 3D Print Lab at Texas Tech University.
