Argie Bandoy's Seasoning the Obese @ Mag:net Gallery

"Seasoning the Obese"
by Argie Bandoy
Mag:net Gallery (Paseo Center)
January 10, 2007 to January 30, 2007

Argie Bandoy opens the new year on an acerbic yet good-humored note in "Seasoning the Obese", his fifth one-man exhibition.

Seasoning the Obese features Bandoy's recent oil-on-canvas paintings, collages, and works on paper. The show (the title of which is culled from the song title of a band called Storm Troopers of Death, which the artist used to listen to in his younger days) features works that are deliberately badly painted, crude and unfinished, where abstract and minimalist forms have accumulated into multi layered accidents and uncertainty, and where textual elements are accidentally misspelled.

Calling the show a celebration of failures as well as good laughter, Bandoy utilizes spontaneously-conceived images, multi-layered accidents, and abstraction to poke symbolic fun at the peripheral and central players in the art world, at the "greedy, the rich, the intellectuals, the morons, the theorists, the talkers, the posers, the dreamers, the non-believers, the critics, the history of art, the market, the collectors, the academe, etcetera."

Argie Bandoy studied Fine Arts at the University of the East. He has been active in various group group exhibitions affiliated with the Surrounded by Water art space since 1996. Bandoy was also among the resident artists of the Big Sky Mind artist project foundation in 2004. 'Seasoning the Obese' is his 5th solo exhibition and his second to be held at the mag:net galleries.

Argie Bandoy's Seasoning the Obese @ Mag:net Gallery (Paseo Center) is on view from January 10, 2007 until January 30, 2007. For more details, please call 817-7895.
