AVAILABLEMORE DETAILSFilled with history and mythos, Vintana’s The Little Big Art Show captures the spirit of a post-pandemic creative age that involves an immense, interpretative energy in one big explosion of assorted imagery. The show is a social reentry that encapsulates the mindful addiction to art as a transformative force. It challenges ideas, taboos, tropes, cliches, secrets, and stories to glean perspective and tap into their corporeal forms.
Feeling the pulse of the Philippine contemporary art world, artists Manuel Ocampo, Dex Fernandez, Kiko Escora, Lourd De Veyra, Aba Lluch Dalena, Argie Bandoy, Kirk Dijamco, Erick Encinares, Jojo Barja, Hamilton Sulit, Jaime Pacena, Chinnich Candao, Art Tavera, Jared Yokte, and Lena Cobangbang reveal a weighty yet lucid representation of heartbreak and resurrection. Each work is packed with raw emotional power and mysteries of their creative process in a life lived in art. While the works vary in theme, subject matter, and form, they embody a oneness in the spirit of an art fair where these expositions are created in the artists’ natural environment. In the absence of an overarching narrative, the works speak for themselves and culminate in what we call a small show with big talent.
Give it time, and you will draw the rhetorical, obsessively quiet material and metaphysical intelligence that it resounds with enduring and almost alien otherness. Drift, and be glad to touch antennae with the most curious minds in the art scene as you engage in one of the most wonderful things we do— explore consciousness in form. The show beckons to find our fortunes in the beauty, madness, and in the decay of time and dreams—to reuse the old optical flame and fall in love with art once again.
