First Solo Show by Summer De Guia
June 11, 2023
Secret Fresh Gallery
Ronac Art Center, Ortigas Ave, 1502 San Juan, Philippines
In her first solo exhibition at the Secret Fresh, Unhappily Ever After, De Guia visually interprets some of her favored fairy tale stories some she focuses on unfamiliar plots–in her bespoke visual style. She also confidently tweaks some glaring facts twisting their narratives or the what-could-have-beens of these child-like tales in tempered palette as taboo thoughts explodes while viewing the fresh language in these paintings in a coming
out artistic party not for the faint hearted. And as she is starting to retell her own not once-upon-a-times by painting one after the other, she has only just begun.
