Sage Culture is an art gallery and multidisciplinary space based in the Arts District of Los Angeles. Founded in 2017 by Nicolas Alonso and Marina Figueiredo, it comprises art exhibitions and the development of a diverse range of projects within the arts and culture sector.
The appreciation of nature and wisdom in translating this experience into artistic expressions define the gallery’s mission, curation, and aesthetics.
A visit to Easter Island was the starting point and primary inspiration for the development of the early concept of Sage Culture.
The remote island’s rich history and how ancient forms of art have always acted as a powerful transformation tool for humankind profoundly inspired the founders throughout the creative process.
The result is a constant attempt to artistically portray the relationship between people and nature — from observing humanity’s primordial cultures and its complete integration with the environment to the contemporary efforts to make sense of this relationship today.
Sage Culture’s concept relates to the land and oceans, our deeper soul, and all the inherited transformative power received from our most primitive ancestors. It is the ancient wisdom that is connected to the present and future through contemporary artistic expressions.
The gallery represents artists whose deep connection to nature serves as their primary source of inspiration. By using natural materials or promoting discussions on the subject, they contribute to reimagining this crucial but endangered bond with Earth.
These artists are particularly focused on their processes, which are often challenging and sometimes defy traditional practices and techniques. The results frequently blur the lines between media and the established boundaries of art, craft, and design.
