Biography

Ebenezer Galluzzo (American, b.1980, he/him/his) 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 the human ecology. 

Galluzzo’s work has been exhibited at Center for Fine Art Photography, Photo Center NW, and Cameraworks Gallery. In 2019 Galluzzo  was selected as part of Blue Sky’s Future Forward show, and a feature exhibition at Paragon Arts Gallery  and Roger Hall Gallery.. Galluzzo has been awarded artist residencies at Sitka for Arts and Ecology, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, and Pine Meadow Ranch.
