Artery Art Space is proud to present “Far Side of the Moon” featuring paintings by Allan Balisi, Argie Bandoy, Demosthenes Campos, Lindslee, and Carlo Ricafort, showing a spectrum of energy waves collected to paint a definition of abstraction as textured ambience, the image as archeological signifier open for excavation and interpretation, content transmitted from unconscious conditions towards the anxiety of humor, or, gestural patterns and compositions that defy convention but form a pleasurable account of the undefinable. This exhibit marks an approach to painting that is seen generally as ornamentation born from the mechanics of the design, albeit immanent in this practice moreover is a propensity for critical reflection, tactical formalism, and the discrimination of taste.

Argie Bandoy studied at the University of the East with shows at Proj20, Kalawakan Space Time, West Gallery, and Taksu (Singapore).
