Tala Gallery presents “Dead Can Dance”, a one- man exhibition featuring a new ollection of works by rising contemporary Filipino artist Andres Barrioquinto The show runs from February 13 to March 8, 2009.

Dead can Dance explore the gradual transition point of Barrioquinto’s art from his cubist edged and somehow patterned renditions towards its binding marriage with figurative realism. It is also bound to showcase a larger set of works, which features an impressive set of lifeless doll-like apparitions that somehow dance floating in an eerie, dead ballet of patterned illusions. According to the artist, he strongly believes that the human body is a container; some are like dead, dancing vessels of flesh afloat in evil awaiting its consumption.
