To say that Katrina Pallon and Raul "Ponj" Roco Jr.'s upcoming exhibit in F*Art Gallery entitled "Tattoo My Colors" is merely an exploration of colors would be an understatement.

While thematically, the works by the two artists might, as one can immediately glean from the title, be about colors, Pallon and Roco's styles reveal their differing perspectives when it comes to chromatic expressions. One notices how the former's tempered approach contrasts with the latter's more liberal hue preferences.

This is not to say that the color limitations imposed by Pallon on herself diminish her ability as an artist—the maximalist in her focuses on the details instead. Her penchant for grim, dreamlike scenarios serve as the perfect backgrounds for her haughty, beguiling female characters—creating phantasmagorical pieces which are as haunting as they are enchanting.

Roco's artworks, meanwhile, are more about vivid, surreal landscapes which are rife with abstract forms and shapes. His sceneries are explosions of colors, with arboreal outgrowths incorporated in each painting depicting the pervasive nature of life. The burst of hues combined with the organic appendages can perhaps be explained by Roco's artistic vision: "My roots are colors and my branches are words, which made me the tree that I am today."

The first collaboration between the two artists, "Tattoo My Colors" enjoins its viewers to explore art from both ends of the spectrum.
