La luz: Eduardo Sarabia

Accompanying the exhibition project Mi Gente, Eduardo Sarabia also presents a series of small-format paintings and two hand-woven tapestries that the artist has grouped under the title La Luz (The Light). These works emerge from a more conceptual process yet remain closely tied to Mi Gente through their deeply personal origin. They stem from an intimate impulse, as the artist engaged in the raw exercise of confronting the blank canvas and translating his emotions into paint. The resulting pieces center on recurring motifs in Sarabia’s practice—most notably, fire and the light it radiates. 

Eduardo Sarabia (Los Ángeles, 1976) lives and works in Guadalajara (México). His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the globe and is part of different collections, public and private.  During 2023 and 2024 he researched the topic of the total eclipse of the Sun that took place on April 8th, 2024.  Focusing on this project he presented three solo exhibitions: Prologue en Maureen Paley, Londres (2023); 4 Minutos de Oscuridad in Galería OMR, Ciudad de México (2024) and Viaje hacia el Eclipse, Museo de Arte de Mazatlán (2024).  

His work has been also presented at different museums and art spaces such as: Dallas Contemporary, Texas, US; CAC Málaga, España; Museo Universitario del Chopo, CDMX; The Mistake Room, LA; Museo Tamayo, CDMX; Instituto Cultural Cabañas, Guadalajara; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Oaxaca, México; Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver, US; Tokyo Wonder Site, Japón, Tokyo; ASU Art Museum, Tempe, Arizona, US; Santa Monica Museum of Art, California, US, among others. He was part of Desert X 2021 with the site-specific project The Passenger, made from handmade Mexican “petates”.  His more recent exhibition is SUEÑXS at Fundación Careyes, Jalisco, Mexico.
