BATTLE ROYALE – 1st Solo Exhibition
Ram Mallari
Art Lounge Manila
Ram Mallari’s art is a reinvestigation of war and conflict’s relevance in contemporary issues.
In this way, the artist conveys that it is a good time for the audience to take a deeper look at the idea of conflict, the issues of dispute, and the weapons being used, so much so that it is also high time to think about their resolution. The primary objective of Mallari’s latest exhibit “Battle Royale” is to address the purpose of battle to prevent future transgressions. All of the works in the exhibit are anchored in a more contemporary idea of what art does. The pieces become performative artworks, engaging the spectator in generating and exploring their own meaning. Mallari believes that his oeuvre acts as a universal language, with his use of mechanical elements of steampunk as communicators of strength, vulnerability, conflict, and resolution – as discussed in the new coffee table book titled “Ironheart”, to be launched on the 3rd of October 2019
Join us as we present Ram Mallari: A “Battle Royale” solo exhibit and “Ironheart” book launch happening on October 3, Thursday at 6:00 p.m. Exhibition will be up on view from September 25 up to October 9, 2019.
