Frida Baranek (born 1961) is a Brazilian sculptor known for creating large sculptural works that incorporate fibers and industrial materials such as plates, rods, and iron or steel wires as commentary on industrialization and the environment in Brazil.
[4] She creates organic forms and subjects using inorganic materials e.g., "Untitled," (1985) stone, wood boxes, bulbs and electric wire, and "Como vai você, Geração 80?
The artist also knits and weaves thin thread into womb and bag-like forms like in her sculpture "Swirls Bege," (2008).
Other materials used in her sculptures are stones, springs, bars, glass, air chambers, tires, rubber balls, water, sand, etc.
Baranek's sculptures reflect a skewed reality, strangeness, and unexpected poetical relationships.
