Folk Lore
New Works by Paulo Vinluan
My work is an ongoing dialogue between perception and portrayal of a persona for one’s own social pursuits. It explores the superficial masks we present to the public and the tenuous relations that charge a civilized society. With reference to the phrase “Wolves in sheep’s clothing”, a visual mash-up of characters and visual symbols emerge. A sampling of wolves in suits, dogs with tribesmen heads, exotic dancers, rodents, Louis XIV chairs with human limbs and dining rooms doubling as performance stages become the tableaux of characters. It delves in what we consider vital in our social pursuits such as acceptance, self-worth, success and power. The image betrayal ends in a comical, tragic display of the conflict between human nature and animal instinct.
Folk Lore will run from Saturday, 13 June 2009 until 4 July 2009 at the Blanc Compound, 359 Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City. Gallery hours are from 11am–7pm, Mondays thru Sundays. For further enquiries, please call telephone numbers 752-0032 or 0920-9276436, email info@blanc.ph or visit www.blanc.ph and www.blancartspace.multiply.com
