Hib Sabin’s Cast of Characters

A Swan Song Exhibition

Stonington Gallery is proud to present “Hib Sabin’s Cast of Characters,” a comprehensive retrospective exhibition celebrating the illustrious career of Hib Sabin. This showcase marks the culmination of Sabin’s artistic journey, offering a (formally) final, grand exploration of his captivating body of work. Sabin’s signature animal figures—ravens, owls, hawks, and eagles—serve as powerful spirit guides and stand-ins for the human experience, bridging the physical, psychological, and spiritual realms. Sabin explores profound themes of mythology, shamanism, and the human condition through intricate hand-carved juniper sculptures, ritual objects, and bronze pieces.

This exhibition invites viewers to immerse themselves in Sabin’s unique perspective on the interplay between the physical and spiritual realms. From his early paintings to his evolution into wood carving and bronze sculpting, Hib Sabin’s Cast of Characters showcases the full spectrum of his artistic output. While this retrospective is intended as the capstone to Sabin’s remarkable career, it may not mark the absolute end of his artistic contributions. The future may hold smaller, focused exhibitions, potentially featuring his drawings. However, Cast of Characters is the definitive celebration of Hib Sabin’s enduring legacy in the contemporary art world.

There will also be an artist talk with Hib Sabin on Friday, September 5. More info to come.
