Sacred Tree

Eduardo sarabia
Opening on November 28th, SACRED TREE , is a new series of lithographs by Mexican-American artist, Eduardo Sarabia. SACRED TREE will feature a series of 10 lithographs, each being a limited edition of 24 with 1 AP each edition. Each lithograph is a Silkscreen Print with Gold Leaf on Arches Paper, with a select few being hand embellished by Eduardo Sarabia.
The exhibition is the most recent installation conceived by the artist, as a result of a personal fascination with the quetzal – its myths and current reality. At the foundation of the exhibition, The SACRED TREE series (translated as “Ceiba Sagrada”), are the trips that Sarabia has made for personal reasons, but also as multicultural explorations: these journeys emerge from anecdotes of narco-culture to approximations of the shamans of Southern Mexico and their search for the Quetzal. These micro stories contained in his work display senses of power, with hidden learnings, with faith, or with different belief systems. These are forms of knowledge that the artist reassesses, given their abundant presence, and it is possible to learn something from them as if they were supplementary layers of realization.
