 My work serves as a  visual portal. My large scale abstracts are liminal  portals into other realms, possibility and existence. 

I also explore abstract portraiture that embodies the essence of ethereal spirits that inhabit this space. There is a deliberate lack of setting within the negative space. The metaphysical planes created are undefined to convey freedom. The imagery created presents dignity and grace while seeking to give voice to the unheard. My subjects are colorful, textured abstractions that explore the notion of visual avatars. I am regifting them with life, presence and audience. I combine unconventional tools for mark-making with acrylic and handmade paints, diamond dust, found objects and Georgia red clay. Through transformation of these evocative materials, I create  safe sacred space, conversations with the unknown realms of possiblity and generational, hereditary memory. The use of energetic mark making and experimental use of tools and materials allows me to disconnect from conscious mental expectations of what safe space should manifest as.

Bio
Atlanta native and multidisciplinary artist Sachi Rome studied under critically acclaimed African American artist Louis Delsarte. His influence is reflected in vibrant, richly textured figurative abstractions. Rome’s primary medium is acrylic and handmade paints, diamond dust, and Georgia red clay. She activates the alchemy of these materials to create what she describes as “safe sacred space, conversations with the unknown realm and generational hereditary memory.” She is heavily influenced by the work of Maya Angelou and Robert Ferris Thompson’s Flash in the Spirit. Rome's exhibition record includes The University of Southern Mississippi Museum, Hammonds House Museum, Georgia Tech, and Kennesaw University, amongst others. Her artwork and poetry are included in the book Shifting Time: African American Artists 2020-202, Co-edited by Klare Scarborough and Berrisford Boothe. The  anthology explores the art of over 70 nationally known African American artists. Rome’s work is held in public and private collections throughout the United States.

Sachi Rome’s artistic practice is a celebration of the alchemy of color and form, inviting viewers to explore the intricate relationships between material, heritage, and the concept of freedom. Her work transcends traditional abstraction, creating spaces that resonate with  distant dreams
