Simple Depictions: Marina Cruz+Rodel Tapaya

Image
Alliance Française de Manille in cooperation with The Drawing Room presents a two-person exhibition called Simple Depictions.  It is simply about people and places.  Marina Cruz's works look like portraits of children, models of true simplicity and sincerity.  Her work dwells on memory while Rodel Tapaya explores the mystery of rural landscapes.  His works depict scenes that are both common and complex; straightforward and mysterious.
 
The multi-awarded artist couple are both graduates of the University of the Philippines' College of Fine Arts.  They are currently working and residing in Bulacan with their two boys.
