Sabo is back in Denver — now featuring a portrait of Jeffrey Epstein.

Has Sabot Become Mainstream?

Not really. However, after making headlines for a court appearance last time he was in Colorado, having the chance to showcase his art in downtown Denver is definitely a positive step for his career.

“It’s nothing short of a miracle that someone like me can present art that can be seen by so many people in such a liberal city,” Sabot remarked.

On Friday, July 3, he will reveal his finished work, titled “American Tarot.” The series will be displayed at the VFW Gallery in downtown Denver during the city’s First Friday Art Walk.

Inside the Card

This collection features four tarot card-inspired pieces that highlight some of the most troubling and divisive moments in modern American history.

  • “The Towers” – September 11th.
  • “The Fool” – January 6th.
  • “Death” – COVID-19 pandemic.
  • “The Hanged Man” – Jeffrey Epstein.

According to Szabo, “Each card captures a significant event from our nation’s history that deeply affected American society, its spirit, and the soul of the nation.”

His recent film, “The Hanged Man,” portrays the infamous financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein hanging as depicted in a tarot card.

For Szabo, the Epstein narrative extends beyond a single individual.

“I think the Jeffrey Epstein saga touches on how so many people across entertainment, politics, science, and finance have been affected or exploited,” he noted.

Hidden Influence

Szabo believes that the Epstein case has heightened skepticism toward elite institutions and sparked difficult inquiries about how power is exercised by the most influential figures.

For years, Szabo assumed that public figures leaned mostly left. Now, he questions whether some have been coerced into promoting specific ideologies in ways that the public isn’t fully aware of.

“I noticed how the music industry was influenced by Diddy’s sex parties,” he shared. “How many artists have publicly supported leftist narratives?”

He insists that the urgency of this topic has intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic, as public confidence in institutions has plummeted.

A Look Back

The former Marine has spent over twenty years crafting impactful political street art that targets everyone from Hollywood icons to progressive politicians.

So, it’s significant that his exhibition is taking place where it is.

His relationship with Colorado’s liberal leadership has been rocky. In October 2024, he was taken to court for putting up anti-illegal immigration artwork in Aurora, which gained national attention due to reports of a violent Venezuelan gang operating in the area.

This artwork, which critiques illegal immigration while also spotlighting the struggles of legal immigrants and working-class communities, led to a fine and community service for Szabo. He argued in court that his piece was a form of protected political speech, highlighting the irony that authorities prioritized prosecuting him over tackling more serious local issues.

Szabo admits he’s still adjusting to the life of an acknowledged artist. “With street art, you’re often on your own, while in galleries, you feel a bit out of your element.” Still, he appreciates the chances he’s been given.

“I think it’s a miracle for someone like me to be able to showcase my work in such a liberal city where my art can actually be appreciated,” Szabo expressed.

His pieces are available for viewing or purchase on his website. Website.
