History
Established in 2003.
WestEdge Gallery was established in 2003 in Encinitas, California. We are now located on North Cedros in Solana Beach, just past the train station at the end of the Cliff Street Bridge, at 404 N. Cedros. WestEdge is also a working studio so you can often witness paintings and sculptures in progress.
Kirk Saber, who has been painting and sculpting for over 25 years, is the founder and artist in residence at WestEdge. The gallery shows a diverse collection of original fine art and sculptures, including interactive paintings and walking sculptures.
Commissions are welcome and we offer restoration services on both paintings and sculptures. Please call us at 619.581.0570 for more information.
Meet the Business Owner
Kirk S.
Business Owner
Kirk Saber was born in Denver, Colorado in 1956. Saber’s serendipitous education engaged in him a deeper interest in the fine arts and cultural history. He was drawn to Los Angeles as a place where he could further his studies and moved there in 1988.
Inspired by Balthus and Van Gogh, who had no formal art training, Saber honed his craft by studying the old and contemporary masters extensively and was collected and encouraged early in his career by David Hockney. Saber’s approach to the canvas is whimsical and engaging. Like Johns and Picasso, his art conveys emotion and passion. Saber paints in the figurative with the energy of abstraction.
Saber has received international attention, and his interest and proximity to the entertainment industry has garnered him collectors such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ted Danson, Woody Harrelson, Glenn Close, Brooke Shields, singer songwriter Willie Nelson, Steve Finley, music producer Randall Richman and the late artist Beatrice Wood.
