“25 Hours” showcases a piece of story about the life of ‘locals’. It features a unique scene in the neighborhood. A genuine collection of folks from different walks of life had stirred the artist to understand the way they mingle.  “Gossiping”— a gizmo of the ‘locals’ to spread juicy news and information became a part of the culture. It is essentially one of the societal forces that brings them together and helps preserve social order when used in a good way.

            In this exhibition, the artist made use of watch, sunglasses, vintage gadgets and antennas as parts of his subject. These are symbolic items that fascinated him to accomplish the art pieces in a humorous way. Tropical trees are likewise performed which are figurative descriptions of rest, entertainment and shed of the folks during their mid-afternoon ‘sessions’ in the neighborhood.

The paintings are showcased using colorful palettes. Different medium such as acrylic on canvas, enamel, old wood, marine plyboard and colored acrylic glass for the sculpture and installation are executed in a cartoon-like 90s video game images.

Gossip is not inherently immoral; it plays an essential role in keeping our society connected. People spread and hear gossips to satisfy their curiosity, to discuss other people’s behavior, or just to chat. It became a good stimulus to relax and cheer up at life.   The artist believes that conversing is a part of who we are and a natural characteristic of the species we’ve become.  —Princess Neptalia Quebral
