THE KILLING JAR @ Red Gallery April 28 opening

The Killing Jar
Artworks of Rosario Solis in collaboration with Nestor Ong

When corporations and ideologies started categorizing dreams and ideals in neat little boxes, the soul and essence of free thinking began to wither like insects in a huge killing jar. The suffocation has to end. The lid has to be opened. The killing jar must be shattered.

Featured in the exhibit are six artworks by Rosario Solis that celebrate liberation, images inspired by very old scientific illustrations of insects combined with modern minimalist organic and industrial designs.

Also featured is a surrealist portrayal of a taboo love affair done by Nestor Ong.

Aside from breaking personal killing jars, there will also be a jam session with PG Zoluaga's band "Maharlikang Bahandi", poetry readings, and collaborative painting sessions.


April 28, 2010 7 pm Opening Night.
