EXHIBITED WORKS
Finale Art Gallery, SM Megamall, Makati City
Garage Sale
Elaine Roberto - Navas
April 18 to May 7, 2008
At once pandering with and criticizing the consumerist society, Elaine Roberto - Navas in "Garage Sale," opening on April 18 at Finale Art File, flings open the door revealing the odds and ends of material culture, the iconic and sundry objects manufactured, used and consumed only to be eventually discarded. Rendered with swirling and evocative brush strokes, the works acquire a nervous energy, as if the things-now zeroed in-are palpitating with life. Memorable and poetic in their quality, the images hover in the mind as weighty ideas on specificity.
