| “ECHOES OF THE JUNGLE’S SWEET SURRENDER” - an Art Exhibition at Balay ni Tana Dicang
ABungalow artists’ foundation presents "Echoes of the Jungle’s Sweet Surrender," The end-of-residency exhibition features the works of curated by .
Located in Negros Occidental, the ABungalow project is an artist residency that begun since 2016. It gives the artist in residence another point of view of life, culture and the arts that may give resonance to the works the artists create in the island.
According to Alessia Terzaghi,
“Pablo Bermudez's works represent a state of contemplation of nature that puts humans in tune with the world, thus achieving a collective consciousness as a unique form of life: a nirvana, an idyllic garden where nature and humans coexist harmoniously. The seemingly abstract works consist of a naive creative act, photography is undermined by abstract painting as a form of destruction and deconstruction of the real image.”
“Natural forms have always been imitated by humans as they exert an attractive force on them. Similarly, the artist perceives this gravity toward nature and especially toward the jungle, which he experienced in Colombia, his native country, & which he will miss for much of his life; this lack will be partially filled here in Negros, where the nature of both the jungle and the sugarcane crops is so similar to his place of origin that the connections between the two countries are evident. In the photographic shots we can see how the architecture of Balay ni Tana Dicang by taking up the forms of nature exists in a balanced way with & in it. “ She stated.
Launched on the 14th of July, 2023, "Echoes of the Jungle’s Sweet Surrender" is hosted by Sir Adrian Lizares which serves as a reflection of the artist’s life experience that resonates to Negros’ lush tropical vegetations, sugarcane plantations and natural sceneries through the prominent story of a century-old home known as Balay ni Tana Dicang.
