Apeiron: Eco-Art of John Sabraw ( April 29, 2025- July 27, 2025)

The Canton Museum of Art is pleased to present Apeiron, a solo exhibition by artist John Sabraw, which incorporates painting, sculpture, and video. For 20 years, Sabraw’s nature-inspired, politically-charged paintings have garnered awe and awareness for ever-more-pressing environmental concerns. In this new exhibition, he builds on past practices, mediums, and partnerships, collaborating closely with organizations and communities within the nonprofit and academic sectors. Sabraw hopes that by bringing these distinct spheres together, he will be able to harness the storytelling potential of art to convey pressing information around sustainability.

Sabraw's abstract explorations focus on natural phenomena, the earth’s ecosystem as a whole, and our role within that. This understanding has led him to incorporate ever more sustainable practices in his studio, in his life, and when possible actively engaging the public on the matter. In this body of work, painstaking painting methods are coaxed into interacting and amalgamating over durations of up to several months. The result is complex, luminous, mysterious paintings that strike a beautiful balance between controlled and organic processes.
