Bart Vargas has been exploring the artistic potential of trash and recyclable materials for over 10 years. Using pattern, repetition and form, he builds paintings, sculptures, and installations that blur the identity of these everyday materials, transforming them into playful, thought-provoking objects. Vargas is currently attending the graduate sculpture program at the University of Minnesota, in Minneapolis. Where his research will continue to primarily focus on sculpture, painting and installation works created from discarded materials. Vargas received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 2007, and has exhibited widely throughout the Midwest. His work can be found in many private, public and corporate collections throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.
