The momentary beauty of Sage Vaughn s butterflies is palpable.
These impossibly lovely, delicate creatures appear to have
magically landed or violently crashed, oozing their colorful
pigment like blood-stained marks across the canvas. The dichotomy
of these delicate and ephemeral creatures co-existing over images
of gritty urban life creates a contrast that is layered,
mysterious, and up for interpretation. Vaughn s butterflies appear
as choreographed naturet their drips echoing his early beginnings
as a graffiti artist. Sometimes juxtaposed against the likes of
mundane interiors, forests, or the Russian punk band Pussy Riot,
Vaughn s distinctive paintings create provocative relationships
between the built and natural environment. The effect is dreamlike
and almost hypnotic, as swarms of butterflies concurrently live and
die in graceful formations that are at once heart-breakingly
beautiful and sublimely melancholy.
Sage Vaughn is an LA-based painter and illustrator who is best
recognized for his wildlife series. Moustachioed, eccentric, and
consistent, Vaughn works in his studio from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and
has been quoted as an artist with a blue-collar work ethic. As a
child, Vaughn and his father, who was also a painter, would spend
hours on end at the LA Zoo sketching animals all day. As a
teenager, growing up in the San Fernando Valley in the late 70s and
early 80s, Vaughn was greatly influenced by the punk movement and
graffiti art. Vaughn s current Wildlives paintings focus on the
juxtaposition and coexistence of humans and animals, drawing
comparisons between their inherent liberty, freedom, and survival
skills. He has had widely acclaimed solo shows in New York, Geneva,
and London and has been featured in a group show at MOCA in LA,
curated by the Beastie Boys Mike D."
