VOLTA4 Edition - Eduardo Sarabia

 

VOLTA4 EDITION 
EDUARDO SARABIA | Mexico
born 1976 in Los Angeles
 
represented by VOGES GALLERY

 

Eduardo Sarabia creates situations, contexts and objects that reflect and explore contemporary issues through the use of traditional Mexican folklore, techniques and imagery. Influenced by the intricate poetics of the black market, his work creates romantic visual narratives that deal with illegal practices--gun running, smuggling, counterfeiting--which become cross-pollinated with authorized commerce, particularly that of the art market.

 

 



Continuing a body of work influenced by traditional Mexican ceramic arts, for VOLTA4 Sarabia created a limited edition multiple of 30 unique hand painted ceramic plates entitled, "Tell It Like It Is".
Sarabia's work has been shown in landmark exhibitions like in the Whitney Biennial, 2008, Phantom Sightings at LACMA, 2008 or the upcoming Tokio Wonder Site 2009.

With special thanks to I-20 Gallery and LA Louver
