David Sabastian

As a passionate creative with an established presence in music and fashion, Sabastian’s venture into visual arts is one loaded with intention, as he seeks a new format for his anti-establishment ideals. Viewing himself and his life as an extended performance piece, Once Upon A Time sees Sabastian breaking into the visual arts in earnest, with vibrant and heavily layered paintings addressing Black History and contemporary issues. Ranging from playful riffs on pop culture to thought-provoking explorations of race and class, this new body of work is threaded with intimate reflections on his lived experience as a Jewish American Black man.
