CIRCA by Lui Gonzales: An Exhibit of Torn Papers and Fleeting Memories

See how layers of torn paper interpret a human’s fleeting memory at CIRCA, Lui Gonzales’ second solo exhibition happening this April 12 until April 27, 2019, at ArtistSpace, Ayala Museum. 

ArtistSpace and Kaida Contemporary Gallery proudly present CIRCA, a collection of artworks made up of layers of torn papers, presenting bits and impressions of occurrences, and snapshots of episodes that were once part of a larger experience.

Gonzales explores the fleetingness of memories through drawing, layering and eventually tearing them to highlight and conceal some parts. This represents how our recollection of events are often changing and indistinct.
