“BRAVE NEW WORLDS: My Utopia, Your Dystopia” is an exhibition that shows a convergence of Filipino and foreign visual artists with heavy themes on black humor and dystopic elements present in the heavily urbanized culture of today. Curated by Filipino painter Manuel Ocampo, he develops this exhibition by featuring at least 20 artists who has shown a particular rising presence in the turn of the 21st Century.
Included in this exhibition are French artists such as Damien Deroubaix, a writer and painter known for his violent images usually containing grotesque monster figures and graphics, Hervé de Rosa, who’s known for his works on vibrant and unique characters reflect his love for a low-brow, or “kitsch” art style, MyriamMechita, a teacher and artist who makes use of common objects like pearls, embroidery, and sequins to assemble contradictory images, and FabriceHyber, who accumulates his philosophical ideas on ecology and society and propagates it in his drawings, paintings, and even installations.
