Joven Mansit captures the spirit of the Spanish colonialism by taking recreating old photographs of the era as large paintings. While he painstakingly reproduces the cracks and discolorations of old photographs, he adds his own iconography, manipulating symbols to create works that raise the disturbing issues of Western colonization. The show, "Camera Obscura," is Mansit's first solo exhibition, runs through October 15, 2008 at the Boston Gallery, Quezon City. (See www.britaniaartprojects.com for more information).
