Rob Sato's solo exhibition 'Earthquake Country' at Subliminal Projects showcases a range of new drawings, paintings, and textile works. Drawing inspiration from his daily experiences and dreams, Sato examines the balance between chaos and rest, using humor, horror, and beauty. The exhibition serves as Sato's artistic homecoming, marked by a desire to engage more intuitively with the world. Collaboration with local artists enhances the exhibition's community focus, highlighting how diverse artistic practices resonate within the context of his life in Echo Park, Los Angeles.
Sato's art lives in a thrilling zone where seductive, colorful, surreal landscapes invite exploration but hint at ominous bad trips lurking over the horizon.
Drawing is my main source of play and my main tool for seeing and thinking. This body of work is marked by a period of trying to commune with the world I encounter every day.
Earthquake Country is both a personal reflection and a broader meditation on the tremors that define contemporary life, blending humor, horror, and beauty.
The exhibition underscores the importance of grounding in community and place, highlighting Sato's collaborations with local artists.
