Marcelo Eli Sarmiento and Roland Santana: Sabor Interno
@ Belong Gallery
2712 W North Ave, Chicago, IL 60647
Opening Friday, August 6th, from 7PM - 10PM
On view through Tuesday, August 31st
Belong Gallery is pleased to announce Sabor Interno, an exhibition of paintings by Marcelo Eli Sarmiento and Roland Santana, opening on Friday, August 6 at 7 PM and running through August 31. Both Chicago artists have been building their relationship since 2017. Individually they have been growing their self-directed studio practices. Sabor Interno is an exhibition that puts the unknown at the forefront. The artists present works created between 2019 through the 2020 pandemic. Finding that the desire for creativity and expression does not end but removed the direct connection with the viewer. The works until now only existed through the lens of the internet and a screen. A year filled with grief, isolation, pain, depression, and uncertainty. Working within the isolated vacuum, that is the studio, the artist worked through these obstacles by looking inward. The removal of the ego permitted the artist to operate without the outwardness the public provides. Moving inward, the artists were confronted with overwhelming force, the self, and the world that they exist within.
