Two tandem shows at Galerie Anna

Galerie Anna presents two simultaneous tandem shows — Janelle Tang and Mark Dawn Arcamo’s “Eclipse” and Charmaigne Mendoza and Kevin Dale Balboa’s “Of the Moment” —  which run until May 22 at Galerie Anna, the Artwalk, fourth floor, SM Megamall A, Mandaluyong City.

“Eclipse” is based on the visual coherence of the circular shape, within which Tang and Arcamo weave a universe with graphic exactitude, of a gorgeously montaged images of roses, insects, birds, butterflies and mystery figures cast in silhouette.

“Of The Moment” is a metaphor for destablizing and damaging world, weirdly seduced by fantasies and dreams of an unreal life.
