ABOUT THE ARTIST

Eduardo Sarabia (b. 1976, Los Angeles, CA) uses narrative as his primary material. Over the years, he has developed a unique visual language and personal aesthetic rooted in his lived experience, but also shaped by a kind of fiction that runs through the construction of his stories. Born in Los Angeles to Mexican parents, Sarabia explores the cultural impact of social phenomena, with historical and geographic contexts subtly permeating his work. While his practice is often autobiographical, it’s marked by an ongoing process of experimentation, personal references are deliberately obscured to allow open interpretation and emphasize on the cultural, sociopolitical, or mystical frameworks that surround his life. 

Sarabia’s work unfolds at the intersection of traditional craft materials such as ceramics, textiles and contemporary methodologies, spanning sculpture, painting, installation, and performative practices. In 2023 and 2024, Sarabia conducted research on the Total Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2024, a theme that shaped a series of solo exhibitions: Prologue (2023) at Maureen Paley, London; 4 Minutos de Oscuridad (2024) at Galería OMR, Mexico City; and Viaje hacia el Eclipse at the Museo de Arte de Mazatlán in April 2024.
