Mac Valdezco and Eugene Jarque hold their second two-man show “Everything is Temporary,” opening on May 16 and on view until June 6 at Blanc Compound, 359 Shaw Blvd., Mandaluyong City.
Valdezco’s latest works of pliant biomorphic forms stand shoulder to shoulder with Jarque’s sharp aluminum geometric creations, each's impressive large works yielding to the beauty of the other.
Jarque is a part-time instructor at the Technological Institute of the Philippines and is the 2nd prize winner for his work "Artificial Light Sources" in the 2000 Metrobank Art and Design Excellence (MADE)under the watercolor media on paper category. Valdezco is a fellow graduate from T.U.P and has exhibited in the National Museum, Vargas Museum, and Ateneo Art Gallery, among a list of many galleries and museums. Most importantly, both Jarque and Valdezco have been named in 2006 as two of Cultural Center of the Philippines' "13 Artists" along with Ronald Anading, Jeho Bitancor, Mariano Ching, Lena Cobangbang, Daniel Coquilla, Luisito Cordero, Lyra Garcellano, Jayson Oliveria, Gary-Ross Pastrana, Yasmin Sison-Ching, and Jevijoe Vitug.
Valdezco’s ingenious clingwrap shoes and Jarque's "Color Handbook of Garden Insects" are also in "Dioramas," a group show from 6 May to 1 June at Mag:net at The Columns in Ayala Avenue.
It is quite impressive to see the creative output of Valdezco considering that she has just finished an equally laudable exhibit titled "Cut Out Atma" a month ago at 20Square Gallery.
My hats off to these two artists!
See both their works, too, with fellow artists from T.U.P in a group exhibit titled "File Under: No Certain Concept” on May 20 at The Crucible Gallery, fourth floor, SM Megamall A, Mandaluyong City.
