The exhibit subtitle was derived from a quote from Shakespeare’s tragedy, Julius Caesar, uttered to the Roman emperor as a warning of danger: “Beware the Ides of March.” The shrouded figures in these two pieces exhibit suggestive gestures and alluring tones of light, surface, and volume. There is a focus on shape and character at work, as well as his use of blacks, whites, and grays in various shadow modulations. In his consistent depiction of shrouded figures in folds and striking poses, Gabito invites viewers into an inquiry on identity and selfhood, an effect of his willful effort against disclosure.
