Edward Cabral

Portrait of a man

Edward Cabral (b. 1987) explores concepts at the crossroads of food and American history in a multidisciplinary practice which includes Jack O’Lantern carving, over-piping style cake decorating, and sculpture. Cabral’s trompe l’oeil ceramics act as artifacts that simultaneously investigate and celebrate vernacular culture. He received his BA in Visual Critical Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has exhibited at venues such as Heaven Gallery, Roots and Culture, Stadium 2, and SPRING/BREAK Art Show.
