Kevin Sabo is a painter (b. 1992) from Virginia Beach, VA (USA) and currently based in Richmond, VA (USA). He trained and studied art throughout his youth and graduated with a BFA in Studio Art from James Madison University in 2015. His paintings are typically multi-media – acrylic, ink, spray, collage work that is largely based around the figure, often playing with character and fashion. Themes of queer identity, satire, existential revelations can be spotted throughout his expressive work. Sabo describes his paintings as large sketches, as they are never pre-determined ahead of the end result. “My paintings are my drag. Colors and patterns are my joy, and jagged lines are my pain. Each time I enter the studio, I play dress up inside the compositions I invent. These busty babes know all my past secrets, and their pursed lips hold my untold future.” – Kevin Sabo
Samuel Richardson (b. 1998) is a Richmond-based painter. Dabbling between painting, drawing, sculpture, and his new-found hunger for interior design, Richardson’s current work is a product from technical elements that each practice possesses. Binding the divides between heaven and hell, uncertainty unveils itself in the hallucinatory realms of Richardson’s work. Richardson received his BFA in sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2020.

Alejandro Piñeiro Bello (b. 1990, Havana, Cuba) paints the sociocultural mystic splendor of the Caribbean’s culture with a focus on the Caribbean diaspora, Cuba, and the surrounding island nations’ identities, and histories. Using traditional materials, such as oil on raw linen or burlap, he establishes a strong palette that becomes essential in his works—striking color accents bathe between the layers in each painting, making certain areas brighten against a backdrop of deep beige. The images form endless landscapes and folkloric gestures. Physical forms and ideals appear on a timeless plane drawn from the artist’s memories and dreams. Piñeiro Bello participated in major public projects during the Havana Biennials in 2012, 2015, and 2019. His works have also been shown in exhibitions presented by Pace Gallery Seoul; KDR305 in Miami; Pace Gallery in Palm Beach; NSU Art Museum, Fort Lauderdale and the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana
