Sympathetic Magic: Echoes

The Sympathetic Magic: Echoes clothing collection by OBEYEBO is an exploration of the resonant forces that linger in the spaces between light and shadow, action and consequence. Inspired by the striking linoleum print created in Los Angeles in 1987, this collection captures the mysterious and repetitive patterns that seem to echo through time and space. The artwork, measuring 12’ x 12’, is the third in a series of "Sympathetic Magic" pieces, each exploring different dimensions of power, ritual, and influence.

Sympathetic Magic: Echoes is a powerful and abstract composition that uses bold contrasts and layered textures to convey a sense of repetition and reverberation. The piece is dominated by overlapping forms and lines, creating a rhythmic pattern that suggests the persistence of certain forces or ideas over time. The contrasting colors—blues, yellows, and deep blacks—enhance the sense of depth and movement, as if the shapes are vibrating with energy.

The title, Sympathetic Magic: Echoes, suggests an exploration of how actions, thoughts, and emotions resonate through time, leaving behind traces that influence future events. The artwork invites viewers to consider how the past continuously shapes the present, with certain patterns and forces echoing through the fabric of reality. The interplay of light and dark, solid and void, gives the piece a haunting quality, as though it captures the remnants of past experiences that still linger in the present.
