Multi-award-winning painter, poet and critic Cesare A.X. Syjuco unveils his recent works at Galleria Duemila on July 24, Saturday, 4:30PM.  Entitled “The Ancestry of a Stone”, the exhibition will showcase Syjuco’s latest forays into the literary and the visual, in what promises to be his most important show in six years.

Featuring his “New Literary Hybrids” – equal parts poetry and visual art – Syjuco reprises his landmark 2004 solo exhibition at the Main Gallery of the Cultural Center of the Philippines.  But there are new twists and turns, as might be expected from this 56-year-old renegade artist, well known for his gallery wit and mischief.

“There will be brand-new works, and some spanning the last six years since CCP,” Syjuco says of the exhibit.  “All in all, I would have to say that it’s the best show I’ve had in a while.”

Syjuco’s works will be on view until August 28.  Galleria Duemila is located at 210 Loring Street, Pasay City.  For more details, please call 831-9990, fax 8339815, email duemila@mydestiny.net or visit www.galleriaduemila.com and www.cesaresyjuco.com.
