The “Looking at Your Brain by Means of a Mirror” exhibits works that examine the intersection between craft and concept, creating a diversity of representations.
These representations range from eccentric figuration, portraiture, and other reconstructed manifestations of identity and the self that prompt a patterned abstraction of perception seen from the prevalent manufacturer of experience.
The exhibit presents a trompe l’oeil masterpiece of realism, which reworks the craft to confuse senses to rethink and to assess what is most apparent in art.
Among the artists featured in the exhibit is Julius Bagoyo, who graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Far Eastern University and has shown in galleries such as the Metro Gallery, District Gallery, and the Artery Art Space.
Another featured artist is Nice Buenaventura, who hails from the University of the Philippines Manila, with pieces in the West Gallery, Underground Gallery, and the Mono8 Gallery, to name a few.
