It's Complicated....Order Through Chaos

Cat's out from the bag.

It's Complicated Valentines Exhibit is a success.

I am still reeling from the experience. But I would like to extend the many thanks to the people who came, Dark Gravity for being the supportive partner that I ever have and to Manix Abrera for being the most fun fun collab partner.

Thank you friends.

Colleagues.

Fellow exhibitors.

And to the people who took the time to come and check out our humble little piece.

So here I present pictures (and various short snippets) for you guys. Pardon some of the crappy quality, I didn't have a camera at that time.

The great shots are from Melissa Rivera of Vgrafiks and Super Mikki

The piece itself.
Entitled: Tameme (Stun)

We decided the title on a whim. We wanted it to be simple and straight to the point.

Close Look at the Details

The idea was to convey complexity of relationships, feelings and mindset and how at some point, connects us all to each other.

Even Closer...

It was an equal division of labor. Manix constructed the tiny paper figures and cursive wire wordings, while I painted the canvas black, pasted the figures and drew silver elements around it.

A little description snippet beside the piece. :D

That little round red sticker became the highlight of our day. Oh wai?


Me and my collab partner Manix Abrera and Selena Salang of Ang Bandang Shirley who bought our piece.

.....'nuff said. Which explains the red sticker.


All in all, it was a great day.

The exhibit will run up to March 3, 2010. At the Pablo Gallery, Cubao Expo (Formerly known as Marikina Shoe Expo) at Cubao Quezon City.

Will post more pictures as time progressed. So these will do for now.

Much Love,

Midweek Randomnities : It's Complicated

For this Midweek Randomnities special...oh, it is so exciting.

You know how in our Friendster statuses, there is single, married, in a relationship and lastly, 'it's complicated'? How many people I have come across in their profiles that had their statuses up that way? Makes you wonder just how complicated their life is at the moment. And you wanted to pull up a chair and have a cuppa with that said person and maybe they might just spill what makes their hearts on a twist.

This Saturday though, we will not just offer a cuppa, but a whole shindig.

Introducing It's Complicated, an exhibit where 7 pairs of artists, visionaries and poets (yes, including moi), will try to untangle the complications of the complicated heart. Beyond the candies, the roses and the proclamations of love. Various mediums of interpretations, symbolism and even mystery as they themselves will expose the inner recesses of their experience as the ones who loved and was loved.

This event is to be held at the Pablo Gallery, Cubao Expo. Opening at 7pm, with sounds by Jowee and Mon of Team Manila.
