Eduardo Sarabia
Eduardo Sarabia
Exhibition of the work of Eduardo Sarabia (born 1976) that presents the general vision of one of the most important young artists in Mexico. Born in Los Angeles and educated in art schools in California, Sarabia has spent the last decade living and working in Guadalajara. During this stage, he has produced works in various materials that explore cultural identity and transnationalism. Developing his work through an intense process of travel and research, Sarabia extracts the stories, stories and mythologies of various communities with the aim of explaining how our sense of understanding the world and the places we live in is based on facts and fiction, through reality and fantasy. By deconstructing clichés and cultural stereotypes, Sarabia produces paintings, sculptures and installations that reveal complex dualities, while simultaneously revealing how our global condition affects the way individuals perceive their own experience. Sarabia, as a contemporary narrator, uses materials preferred by local artisanal communities as a starting point to address complex social, cultural and material exchanges that take place in regional meetings with foreigners.
