SANTOS
haunted / talisman (aceart.inc)
9/18
“Santos’ meticulously drawn surfaces contain a vocabulary of imagery originating from an exploration of a ‘self’ that is neither fixed nor stable. The drawings celebrate the multiplicity and hybridity of the body proper and the body as environment/landscape. Childhood games, Filipino folk-tales of the Asuang witch/vampire characters, natural decay and decomposition, and geological processes of erosion, striation and crystal formations, come together to both map and dissect a reconfigured and monsterised self.”
