Carousel

Jomike Tejido’s 8^th solo exhibition 

of acrylic on banig (hand-woven mat) paintings

Jomike Tejido’s Carousel brings viewers back to childhood with its whimsical carnival atmosphere. Across cultures, carnival rides are a part of most children’s lives, whether set in a local perya or karnabal, to huge theme park. Instead of the freaky attractions, this show focuses on the psyche of the revolving rides and how it brings a sense of wonder for a child, and how these few minutes, along with a small toy or sweet confection, are to be the happiest moments one’s life. Lavish art deco motifs are influenced from Tejido’s architectural background, while the ornamental patterns reflect the Filipino jeepney and festive spirit. Carousel aims to bring back the times when we could just let go of all our worries and enjoy the ride of life.

Jomike Tejido’s Carousel opens on October 17 at 6:00pm and runs through November 9, 2013 at Olive Creek Gallery, G/F HRC Center 104 Rada St., Legaspi Village, Makati. For inquiries, call 5764302.
