MANILA, Philippines - Bertrand Peret holds “Vamos!” which is on view until Oct. 9 at Alliance Total Gallery, Alliance Française de Manille, 209 Nicanor Garcia St., Bel-Air II, Makati City.
Presented by Alliance Française de Manille, with support from the Embassy of France, the show is sponsored by Rustan’s and Stores Specialists Inc. (SSI).
In 2012, Peret exposed a state of shock in any given situation through a series of collage paintings and sculptures in “Orange Vital,” which was presented in Hue, Vietnam. The series was produced at the start of the crowd uprising during Arab Spring of 2011. In 2013, he mounted “Highblood,” an art collection of collage paintings that depicted the post-traumatic state.
“Vamos!” presents the ultimate state, a wave of optimism geared towards what is ahead.
