Boo Saville

Boo Saville’s work is known for combining both abstraction and figuration. Her abstract color fields in oil resonate and hum as the color becomes the form, sometimes generating a feeling of intensity and optical calm. Saville uses layering to build up the paint surface; her brush marks are gentle or erased completely, giving the impression that they aren’t made by hand. Titled in sequences, these works have referred to times of the day or the moons of the solar system, great orbital bodies in movement around each other. More recently, Saville has used more personal titles. The names of the paintings have become exclusively female, the feeling of the colors reminding the artist of the relationships of friends and family. These works invite harmonious, meditative states in which any visible form of the artist’s gesture is replaced with an emotional response from the viewer. ...

LODO Gallery is a contemporary art space dedicated to exploring the dynamic relationship between emptiness and materiality. Founded on the belief that the void is not a lack, but a fertile ground for meaning and creation, the gallery showcases works across a range of media—including painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and video. Its curatorial approach emphasizes conceptual depth and visual resonance, offering exhibitions that invite reflection on contrast, presence, and transformation. The name LODO, meaning “mud” in Spanish, symbolizes the gallery’s core philosophy: like mud—a blend of earth and water—the void is a generative matrix where form and thought take shape. Located at the intersection of absence and expression, LODO Gallery fosters a space where artistic practices can unfold with freedom, nuance, and integrity. ...
