Adrian Pepe
Adrian Pepe is a honduran born textile artist currently based in Beirut.
His work focuses itself as a study on craftsmanship from sociocultural, aesthetic, ecological and methodological perspectives.
Observing the ties that we form with objects over time, his practice seeks to interweave culture, history, and performance with visual art, fashion, and interior design.
Having graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a Bachelors of Fine Arts and a Master of Arts in Design, Adrian went on to join the internationally recognized American craft studio BDDW, where he trained and produced heirloom quality furniture.
Later on acting as Creative Director for Bokja Design, a Beirut based textile craft studio, whilst simultaneously, sharing his trade in material practices as a professor for first year students at L' Académie libanaise des Beaux-Arts, commonly referred to as ALBA.
His work, part performance, part theoretical discussion, crafts its objects and experiences as tools to engender discourse on materiality, our morphing cultural landscape, and its present condition.
