Ligia Sato: Walking Abstractions: Online exhibiton of recent works

Dôme Art Advisory is proud to present our first online exhibition; Ligia Sato: Walking Abstractions. This collection of ten works shown here, highlights the colorful and geometric photography of Ligia Sato.  Sato is an interdisciplinary artist whose primary work focuses are photography, printing, and performance art. Sato’s inspiration derives from her time spent in her home town of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and how the environment one is raised in plays an enormous role in one’s physical and mental wellbeing.   “The core motivation behind my practice is the belief that we are not separate from the environment we inhabit – we are one whole with space.”

The densely populated city of Sao Paulo is filled with a multitude of architectural styles both historic and modernist.  The sheer density and the need for an urban environment to move people from one place to the next efficiently, created the feeling of control for the artist and oftentimes its beauty is obscured by volume, necessity and an inattentiveness that can grow from familiarity with place.  Ligia’s works aim to gain a different perspective than the one imposed on the population. Through photography, Ligia places the viewer into a unique vantage point, that of the mindful pedestrian, Noticing details that would be otherwise overlooked by numb commuters, the viewer is able to find beauty and freedom, in geometric spaces that would usually feel intolerable. 

Ligia’s works ask the question, how does the human body and condition exist in spaces that were only built to accommodate efficiency?
