SABIO offers a multifaceted show which engages viewers in a comprehensive sensory experience. His expressions cover a full range: painting, photography, video, audio landscape and direct to garment. At the core of his show, large scale paintings manifest his true vision. A conscious energy pattern vibrating the eternal cycles of nature. Within this momentum an awareness emerges reflecting Life’s very own sensitivities, births, deaths and rush as waves bloom and break right before our eyes.
SABIO is a cultural documentarian of NYC’s downtown scene. His photographs and video work transport you to a space where run-ins with artists, musicians, and skaters alike are an everyday occurrence, reflecting the reality of his community. While traveling in Africa and Europe, he explores a new medium by sampling sounds inspired by these journeys and orchestrates them by using an iPhone beat production. Through direct to garment, viewers are able to physically embody the patterns and textures exhibited in the show on one of a kind articles of clothing. This transforms his ideas and allows one to experience Waves in Bloom beyond the gallery walls.
CONCEPT
New paintings are based on the energy of waves, a consistent pattern that eventually crashes and breaks. Such is the commentary of life itself. All of the works in the show are painted in the rain. Water is a principle element. It signifies life. We are made of water, born in water. Patterns are metaphorically expressed in this new body of work and symbolic of human nature. With this burst of life force, water-waves-patterns are interrupted as we enter new beginnings and seasonal changes. Rebirth and blooming, patterns that were once held habitual can now break and crash and appear in this new space. Explosive colors and shapes transform memory, accessing the cycles that are already in nature. We enter the infinite gesture of life-death-life. Death does not mean our physical death, it is often a metaphor. The caterpillar does not fear the chrysalis as it closes itself in. It surrenders to the process knowing that in accepting the death of one form, a new form is born.
