Art, foto exhibits tackle ego and solitude

“Pardon III” by Dexter Sy

Galerie Stephanie is holding two group exhibits simultaneously until June 22.

“More Than I,” featuring local and foreign contemporary artists, tackles the alter ego as possibly a truer version of oneself.

Participating artists are Dexter Sy, LJ Ablola, Ciane Xavier and Reybert Ramos from the Philippines, and Dan Barry (US), Hideo Tanaka and Akira Miyamoto (Japan).

“They portray the alter ego as the fulfillment of what the other does not and cannot have, and an identity to complement the inevitable lapses of the original self,” said art writer Grace Micah Oreiro.

“Stalking Solitude” is an exhibit of photographs that depict solitude and individualism, loneliness and absence.

Participating photographers are Jake Verzosa, MM Yu, Cru Camara, Red Ognita, Eunice Sanchez,Idan Cruz, Kidlat de Guia, Jun Sabayton, Paul Mondok and Miguel Lorenzo Uy.—CONTRIBUTED
