Sabio: Something the Sun Would Say
Castor Gallery is pleased to present Something the Sun Would Say, an exhibition of new works by New York-based artist, Sabio. This will be the artist鈥檚 first solo exhibition with the Gallery, featuring ten original painted works of varying sizes. The artist will be in attendance for the opening reception on Thursday, June 4, 2015.
Having recently returned from a nine month stay in Rio Di Janeiro, Something the Sun Would Say is a tropical themed exhibition of painted works. Sabio depicts wistfully abstracted lush scenes using a bright color palate juxtaposed against the bold, geometric style patterning associated with Brazilian street art. Each piece is created freehand using a combination of spray paint and acrylics. Sabio produces each painting in a single, exhaustive studio session, thus lending a spontaneous, active impression to the work. By combining bold dark Brazilian influenced Pixacao-style patterning with the vivid colors characteristic Rio Di Janeiro, the artist poses a comparison between the natural vibrancy of tropical Brazil and the sweltering New York summer. Beyond this cultural collaboration, there is also an element of introspection to the series as Sabio explores the dueling cultures which comprise his own evolving identity.
