Exhibition
Mar 13rd – April 5th, 2014
I created this series of oil paintings from my travels and observed the nightlife habits of people that I have seen in pubs and bars in several countries from Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand.
When I was in the different bars I observed people in the nightlife environment and created sketches of drunk people, bartenders, ladies of the night, and barflies while these people were having fun drinking or dancing. Some people drinking alone with sadness and loneliness inside.
In every painting I used alcoholic drinks as a common symbol that people use for socializing, having fun, entertaining and healing the soul's emptiness. I used yellow color as the night lights or reflection from beer bottles and used dark blue as the darkness hours of the nocturnal world.
