What is a portrait?
Pressed against the black painted walls of Vinyl on Vinyl are
portraits of countless characters, with or without a face. From empty frames to
seemingly empty silhouettes, the exhibit paints a picture worth a thousand
words.
Pilipinas Streets Plan’s very own, DEFS and VR, takes refuge
in VOV and redefines the meaning of a portrait. From the plain-Jane notion of a
‘composed image of an individual’ comes a new definition that goes beyond the
face of man. From faces of the flesh to
blank surfaces, DEFS and VR creates ‘something admired, something that makes
you want to look forward to seeing on a daily basis, and something iconic.’
‘Surface’ was displayed in Vinyl on Vinyl last September
29-October 17, 2012. Pass on by and get re-educated on surfaces and portraits.
