A Creature Apart by Rook Floro

20 May - 24 June 2017
Opening Sat 20 May, 4 pm onwards
Gallery Open Wed - Fri 2-7pm and Sat 11am-7pm

Rook Floro, a half Thai half Filipino emerging artist, takes over Yenakart Villa with a cluster of colorful installations, sculptures, paintings, photography, and a video. This show marks the first time artworks will be playfully displayed along with the architecture of the gallery. The viewers are welcome to explore the immersive world created by the artist.

The show envisions the story arc of “Blastard”, the most recent alter ego of the artist. He was confronting his lust and hoping to contain it. Detached from his surroundings, he’s been trying to realign his fantasy with reality by liberation of self. Solitude may be the answer he seeks. Without realizing, he’s slowly shifting into another alter ego, “Corvus”. The artist is trying to capture the space in between two alter egos.
