Philippine Star columnist and artist Igan D'Bayan presents his darkest suite of paintings in Dead Beliefs & Black Vomits opening July 22, 2010 at the SM Art Center, fourth floor, SM Megamall A.

Igan says it began as an intellectual pursuit about philosophers and their prejudices (Nietzsche, for example), about the punk-like parodying of symbols (swastikas, inverted crosses), about painting as an exercise in necrophilia (conceptual art has allegedly slain painting).
But as the artist went through intense personal turmoil, the paintings acquired an autobiographical dimension.
"The palette became grayer, the images more burdened, everything got more blearily screwed up.”
The show is on view until Aug. 3.
For information, call Chari Elinzano or Inas Amoyo at 635-6061.
