JUAN ALCAZAREN BERNARDO PACQUING

January 13 to February 7, 2009

Juan Alcazaren and Bernard Pacquing, two of the most exciting visual artists today, team up for a show on view at the Tall Gallery until Feb. 7. Through his installations, Alcazaren explores the conceptual properties of everyday objects such as used chopping boards and mirrors, creating carefully orchestrated works that feature a definite and palpable symmetry, limned in light. Pacquing, on the other hand, posits a counterpoint with his wildly imaginative canvases steep with his signature child-like strokes in the spirit of Abstract Expressionism, showing the disorder of the inherently tempestuous creative process. Anchoring the exhibit is Pacquing's installation that features an assembly of geometrically-positioned strings bristling with feathers and emerging from a canvas riotous with lines--a metaphorical footnote to what the exhibit represents. Cohesive in their experimental attitude and oppositional in their viewpoints, both works vibrate with conceptual energy and deliver to the onlooker a veritable glimpse of the future of Philippine visual arts.
