- Rationale
- "The works selected by Saisho are part of a line of work I called Meaningless Data, which aims to generate a questioning rather than just answering it. The question is: 'What do we see when we don't know what we are seeing?' Some answers reflect natural human aptitudes for projecting knowledge onto the unknown. The essay Meaningless Data further details these evolutionary aptitudes to highlight the value of seeing what we don't know we are seeing. It's like rescuing that childlike gaze that doesn't judge or project, that is open and hungry to see what it doesn't understand and to explore the unknown without definitions, with all its possibilities. 'Borderline 1, 2' try to play with the definition of the word, Borderline as representing how easy it is to interpret different situations or arguments in the represented images. Borderline tries to suggest and underline the ambiguity of interpretations in general, thus questioning our own interpretative filter." -Fabián Monge

Artist
Fabián Monge
Fabián Monge works through painting with the concept of perception and the way we look. With a pop style marked by the vibrant use of color, he questions the ambiguity of vision: "What is seen when we don't know what we are seeing?". His works, such as Borderline 1 and 2 presented at Saisho, invite the viewer to recover a childlike, prejudice-free gaze that highlights the inherent ambiguity of all interpretation. His career includes solo and group exhibitions in spaces such as the Municipal Museum of Cartago, as well as participations in local biennials and festivals. His work is part of private collections in Costa Rica, Chile, Spain, the United States, Guatemala, Belgium, and Italy. Coming from a humble and conservative peasant family, Monge has made controversy and the search for alternative perspectives a vital and artistic driving force. His interest in questioning the established and exposing new perspectives has defined both his plastic career and his personal and social position. In this process, he recognizes how each idea tested in social debate strengthens him, forcing him to open himself to dialogue, to respect opposing viewpoints, and even to incorporate them into his own. For Monge, human beings share a common template or universal basis upon which we build our differences. This common ground, transparent and preceding the social paradigms that condition us, constitutes the foundation of his artistic work. From there, his painting becomes a space for communication and understanding, where the ambiguous, the perceptual, and the imaginative intertwine to invite the viewer to see the world with different eyes.
