In a state of Panik: Nune Alvarado at Ysobel Gallery

In this show Panik at Ysobel Gallery, Nunelucio “ Nune”  Alvarado takes on issues of urban chaos, frivolous lifestyles and dependence on material happiness and the demons of compulsive excesses and frantic obsessions of men while effectively engages a nagging call to go back to organic and simple ways.

Particularly, these artworks also call to mind a discernable visage of the panic and devastation of Typhoon Hyan/Yolanda which directly connects man’s propensity for excesses.  

As an artistic investigation on society, these works also collectively provide a point of departure to look at the artist’s own state of mind and creative process. Alvarado has been known for his seminal cubistic work on canvas but now takes a slight shift to smaller works on pen and ink. 

The show is a visual feat that demonstrates his dexterous skills and commitment to details. As always, he engages an incessant interplay of meaning and representation so characteristic to his work in any medium he commits his artistic labor.
 
Opening May 23, 6pm; the exhibit runs until June 3, 2014 at Ysobel Art Gallery 2ND Floor Shops at Serendra, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.
