Gods, patriots, messengers in back to back shows at Cevio Art House

MANILA – In his second solo show and comeback exhibition, Of Gods and Patriots, artist Raymond Katawaki Go delves into the question of power and its immanent contradictions by projecting ancient and contemporary images, of the religious and the secular in an attempt to call and respond to myth and reality.

These arresting images turn into a social introspection to review the historical past and institutional ideas that are so intrinsic to intervention and inquiry but with a pulse on the present based on the artist’s understanding and impressions of these realities.

After years of hiatus, Kawataki Go comebacks with a major show at Cevio that re-registers his skill and passion for art and instigation of critical thoughts.

His collocation of elements that are often layers of discernible— figures and anatomical fragments of humans and animals with expanded limbs and exaggerated forms meshed with patterns, lines and o ther assigned elements and certain motifs morphing in shapes and reappearing liberally in his paintings.

Both exhibitions will run from Oct 18 to Nov 1.  Reception on Oct 18 starts at 6pm.  The gallery is open from Monday to Saturday with gallery hours from 12 n.n to 8 p.m.
