The smell of mornings in many Filipino households is characterized by the food being prepared in every kitchen. It connects us to a distinct but abstract sense of self. Opening on November 4, 2020, Gabby Prado’s third solo exhibition, curated by Gwen Bautista, surveys the connection of food in our relationships and how it is tied to our identities as we participate in the ritual of breakfast.
No Other Love and Sugar Plumfairy II
50 x 90 inches
Acrylic on canvas
In working on this exhibition, Prado remembers how every morning unfolds: her family seated together on the dining table, and the olfactory senses work their way and produce images that take their rounds in her mind. The artist believes that breakfast signifies something more than fulfilling dietary requirements; it is a specific custom defined by the time of the day and how it is done across cultures.

Care To Join Me For Breakfast?

Acrylic on canvas
Through the combination of both abstract expressionist paintings and ceramic sculptures, Prado attempts her artistic language to pass and convey what takes place in a morning meal. “Breakfast” signals the beginning and the prelude to our waking and working life.
