Ebenezer Galluzzo
Ebenezer Galluzzo is driven by his experience as a trans man, the symbology associated with traditional westernized gender, and redefining those gender systems through his art practice. Galluzzo uses photography as a tool to reveal stories that he wants to see in counterbalance to the stories put upon bodies by mainstream culture. Elements of nature are incorporated into a variety of his images, countering the notion that certain bodies and identities are not natural. Through portraiture, Galluzzo finds new possibilities of existence where all expressions are sacred, honored, and a vital part of human ecology.
Galluzzo’s work has been exhibited at Center for Fine Art Photography, Photo Center NW, and Cameraworks Gallery. Galluzzo has had solo exhibitions at Paragon Arts Gallery, Roger Hall Gallery, and BlueSky Gallery. Galluzzo has been awarded artist residencies at Sitka for Arts and Ecology, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, and Pine Meadow Ranch.
