Manuel Ocampo at West Gallery

“He didn’t have one style. He was part of the avant-garde movement of his time, yet denounced the movement’s principle as well,” Ocampo says of Picabia, who, like him, does not possess set or learned techniques

Complementing his one-man exhibit are collaborative works with younger artists Nemo Aguila, Bjorn Calleja, Rommel Celespara, Jigger Cruz, Don Dalmacio, Beejay Esber, Dex Fernandez, Edric Go, Dave Lock, Jason Montinola, and Epjey Pacheco.
