A Carnal Exhibit Served Raw
Cannibalism is an act associated with the consummation of raw meat from the same species. Simplified, it’s eating your own. And love; what can be said about love that hasn’t been said before? This exhibit is a collaboration between two artists who brought their own perspective to the idea of love and the emotions behind it. A modern take on how carnal, raw and consuming love can be.
Brenda Praico’s pieces portray the “softer” side of cannibalism by focusing her subjects around her slightly romantic meats. A more in-depth look would reveal the feminine angle by representing one being consumed by love.
James Zabala’ works show a tougher kind of love. It concentrates on being the consumer of love itself. His works show an embracing, dominant side to love; the possessor who’s in command of the emotion.
Both artists graduated Fine Arts Major in Painting from UST and have participated in several group shows. This is their second collaboration after “Random Gods” in 2005.
Cannibal Love will run from May 25 – June 12, 2009 at Blanc Gallery, Makati. Blanc Gallery is located at 2E Crown Tower, 107 H.V. Dela Costa St., Salcedo Village, Makati.
