de Sarthe Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Ma Sibo’s first solo exhibition Habitat, opening at the gallery on October 15th. Ma Sibo’s paintings are about space – the visual space of the painting – an immersive space where the viewer is invited to dive in. Gradually faded and stratified by the paint, through his landscapes Ma Sibo creates a dreamlike, surreal atmospheres. The use of a sfumato-esque technique merges shapes and colors in deceptively realistic paintings that sway towards abstraction. Ma Sibo is a master of lights and of colours, he immerses us within a vibrant palette; sometimes very acidic and sometimes very soft elements seem to appear and disappear as the eyes of the viewer combs the canvas. The exhibition will run until November 27th.
