Cannibal Love A Carnal Exhibit Served Raw – blanc art space
Cannibal Love
A Carnal Exhibit Served Raw
Cannibalism is an act associated with the consummation of raw meat
from the same species. Simplified, it’s eating your own. And love;
what can be said about love that hasn’t been said before? This exhibit
is a collaboration between two artists who brought their own
perspective to the idea of love and the emotions behind it. A modern
take on how carnal, raw and consuming love can be.
Brenda Praico’s pieces portray the “softer” side of cannibalism by
focusing her subjects around her slightly romantic meats. A more
in-depth look would reveal the feminine angle by representing one
being consumed by love.
James Zabala’ works show a tougher kind of love. It concentrates on
being the consumer of love itself. His works show an embracing,
dominant side to love; the possessor who’s in command of the emotion.
Both artists graduated Fine Arts Major in Painting from UST and have
participated in several group shows. This is their second
collaboration after “Random Gods” in 2005.
Cannibal Love will run from May 25 – June 12, 2009 at Blanc Gallery,
Makati. Blanc Gallery is located at 2E Crown Tower, 107 H.V. Dela
