Conspiracy Garden Café hosts a collection of paintings by Jose Burgos III. Titled Pihit, the exhibit will showcase the recent works of Burgos. It will be on display at the alternative space from January 15 to February 6.
Pihit is Filipino for “turn.” While Burgos had his first exhibition in the late 1980s, he never stopped painting. “I have been a farmer since the mid-1990s, but I kept on painting to, somehow, relieve me of the burdens a Filipino farmer has to endure to survive during these absurd times,” shared Burgos.
“Painting has always been my passion, my refuge,” added the farmer-visual artist.
The exhibit is open to public, with the opening reception scheduled at 7 pm on January 15. The regular show featuring Noel Cabangon follows after the exhibit launch.
