"Rendezvous" Exhibit Statement

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center-light pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Kerouac

Have you ever thought of a special place which serves us home for: madness and sanity, surrealism and realism, transition and static, daze and haze as well as everything in between all of these? Perhaps you have imagined this ideal place somewhere and you have bounced back to your waking life finding nowhere. Today, you find “that” Rendezvous.

Rendezvous is a fusion of art that is old and told, ancient and contemporary, harmonious and ambiguous. It is not a two-man show of Art just for beauty's sake but a slow train ride that seeps through how beautiful is the mind, how vast is the heart and how restless are the hands. It is a collaboration of greatly different media and perceptions bind by the same passion- to create, to mold that special venue that lets every viewer to not just look at but definitely, look into. A venue that awakens emotional telepathy that transcends.

Rendezvous showcases the intricacies of Escario and the perplexities of Duterte and the eccentricity of both. This is your ticket to a no mainstream art destination. Rendezvous is a taste of utopia. Sights and styles that either hits you home at the gut of your bewilderment.

Rendezvous.

Artistic radicalism. Boundary between dreams and consciousness. Call it a place, or yes, a pitfall.

Diptych by TJ Suarez @ Red Steakhouse and Gallery, Iloilo City

Exhibit statement:

Life is like a story. When you share it, it tends to create a visual presentation in everybody’s mind. The more you tell the story, the more creative it becomes in one’s imagination. But since life comes in different perspectives, these stories come in contrast to each other. Diptych, a catalyst that two pictures always comes together, whether they may be depicting somehow a similarity in their own behalf, or either sharing the same kind of story to you.

Diptych by TJ Suarez is a photo exhibit that shares about how one looks in life in contrast to different perspectives.

Exhibit duration:

The exhibit will open up on March 15, 2010 and will until March 21, 2010 at Red Steakhouse and Gallery, Smallville, Diversion Road, Iloilo City.
