Le Pot de terre-Pot de fer 2020

Carlos Sablòn made Le Pot de terre-Pot de fer with paint, conjuring a world where landscapes breathe and pots overflow with life. It's like Sablòn's layering up not just the colors but also the stories, building them into the very texture of the painting. The way the pot's red jumps out against the blues of the distant hills makes you think about how we see things, how colors can be loud or quiet depending on what's around them. And that little waterfall spilling out? It's so smooth, almost like he’s playing with how water moves, turning it into something you can almost touch. There’s something dreamlike about how Sablòn puts everything together. You can see this kind of surreal touch in the work of someone like Leonora Carrington, who also loved to mix the everyday with the magical. It’s a reminder that art isn’t just about showing us the world, it’s about opening up a space where anything is possible.
