The Most Genuine Regret (December 11, 2008)

Known for pushing himself to the extreme, Tatong Recheta Torres mounts yet another crucial achievement with The Most Genuine Regret. Torres's third solo exhibition, The Most Genuine Regret consists of his penchant for characters in horrific physiological conditions and staged backdrops. Aside from his canvas-stills of random occurrences, he unifies them in a bizarre spatial experience of blob-sculptures suspended in mid-flight. The relationship between the figures that inhabits Tatong's paintings and the mysterious three-dimensional forms is that of deep seated conflicts of desire and regret, to satiate and to be forever haunted by it. The Most Genuine Regret opens at 6pm, 11 December 2008, Thursday in Art Informal.
