Born in Buenos Aires and based in Los Angeles since the early 2000s, Analia Saban (*1980) works across and between artistic mediums, consistently turning viewers’ expectations of what constitutes a painting or sculpture on its head. In the process, Saban’s works constitute inventive new hybrid forms that complicate these traditional categories and rewrite their definitions, while delving simultaneously into the histories of art, materials and technology.

Deep Cuts: Block Printing Across Cultures
Group Exhibition
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Through September 13, 2026
This exhibition explores the world's oldest and most versatile method of making multiple images. More than 150 works from Asia, Europe, and the Americas present the medium as both a means of creative expression and a vehicle for mass production that enabled images and ideas to circulate widely. Textiles, prints, and books offer intricate patterns and striking imagery that reveal block printing’s global history, from the patterned fabrics of India to the illustrated books of the Kelmscott Press to modern artistic experiments by German Expressionist artists and contemporary makers. The exhibition also includes a section developed with Los Angeles–based Block Shop, highlighting how contemporary artists continue to reinterpret this enduring art form.
