Eduardo Sarabia - OMR

Eduardo Sarabia

Los Angeles, USA, 1976
Lives and works in Guadalajara, Mexico

Eduardo Sarabia’s work has largely been inspired by the independent economies and folk history of northern Mexico. He frequently works with the materials favoured by local craftspeople, using ceramic tiles, hand-woven textiles, and glass to create sculptures and installations that address the complex exchanges—social, cultural, and material—that occur when this region and its history encounters outsiders.

Without limiting himself to a critique of the “exoticization” of Mexican culture, Sarabia examines the gap separating definitions of taste (and, more bluntly, of legality). Mixing romantic visual narratives in regards to illegal matters, fine arts and commerce, creating an environment that slips between the oneiric and the openly materialistic, Sarabia’s work takes on an important exploration of understanding the physical and human consequences of economic forces.
