Vignettes in two artists' 'Collective Memory'

MANILA, Philippines - This two-man show encapsulates the artists’ affinity to amassing objects and imagery related to pop culture. Through their daily explorations of their environs, they have collected a multitude of corporeal items and symbolic representations. By fusing these tangible and contextual portrayals with their distinct creative styles, Mimi Tecson and Wesley Valenzuela impart significant recollections, ideas and personas in their lives.

The artworks in this collection convey their musings on their roots, religion and society. The pieces evoke their affirmations and queries on personal relationships, interests and their evolving creative processes.

Valenzuela’s work combines painting and collage while incorporating symbolic juxtapositions of imagery from the past and present. Tecson, on the other hand, employs bricolage, where she makes use of common objects to imbue an emotional connection through her art.
