"ALTER EGO"

Tyago Almario, Derrick Macutay, PJ Jalandoni, Carlo Onchangco, Henry Royales, Rovi Salegumba, and Marlon See examine the complex terrain of conflicts; the distinction between youthful vigor and the gentle wisdom of old age, the age-old dispute between good and evil, and the pristine state of man along with his inner self in contrast to its primitive adversary. The artists bisects past our faces, our fingerprints, the line of our skin and the genetic blueprint that makes up man’s identity into our ‘other self,’ our Alter Ego in a group show presented by Tala Gallery.
