Bleu Pablo: Feng Shui Series
Solo Show at The Octagon
On View: April 1 to June 28, 2026
Opening Reception: April 18th At The Octagon, 888 Main Street, Roosevelt Island Bleu Pablo Presents a solo exhibition featuring works from his Feng Shui Series, an ongoing body of work he began in 2015. Rooted in the ideas of balance, energy and spatial harmony, the series explores how color, texture and movement can shape emotional and environmental experiences. Through his abstract compositions, Bleu Pablo invites viewers to reflect on the unseen forces that influence both our inner lives and the spaces we inhabit. About the series: "The Feng Shui Series started back in 2015, when I was thinking about balance, how we move through life with all its setbacks, victories, and chaos. None of us are perfect, but we’re all trying to align the energies around us and find our center. My work reflects that: layered, chaotic, alive. Through all that chaos runs a yellow line, my symbol for balance and harmony. It’s not about perfection, it’s about the everyday practice of finding your center, even when life feels messy. That line is the quiet in the storm, the moment of clarity in the chaos. The title Feng Shui was inspired by the track Feng Shui by @realremedymusic and @roydshal, perfect to the energy and flow I was exploring. Now at The Octagon, the series invites you to ask: How do we navigate life’s chaos while finding our balance?" -Bleu Pablo
