Shepard Fairey’s Subliminal Projects is set to present Earthquake Country, a solo exhibition by Echo Park-based artist Rob Sato. The opening reception is Saturday, June 7, from 7–10 PM.
The exhibit features a new body of drawings, paintings, and collaborative textile works. The collection is set against the backdrop of his career in illustration and animation, and rocked by the physical and cultural shifts witnessed through his lens as an Echo Park resident for nearly two decades.
“Drawing is my main source of play and my main tool for seeing and thinking,” the artist said. “This body of work is marked by a period of trying to commune with the world I encounter every day, and to make art more intuitively than ever.”
Added Fairey: “Rob Sato’s art lives in a thrilling zone where seductive, colorful, surreal landscapes invite exploration but paradoxically hint at ominous bad trips lurking over the horizon. Sato’s paintings conjure Willy Wonka’s edible candy garden where the fine line between delicious and deadly is crucial to the mystery and adventure.”
