GCAS is pleased to present a new performance installation work by internationally acclaimed Philippine painter Manuel Ocampo. In this new work created especially for GCAS entitled “She has a Hot Ass: The Demystification of Art and its Incorporation Into the Practice of Everyday Life Could only be Achieved Through the Deliberate Lowering of Standards” Ocampo has invited a local tattoo artist to transform his sketches into permanent tattoos. Typically Ocampo’s work presents a pictorial collision of socio-political positions. In his paintings devotional symbols often jostle beside commercial or corporate icons, pointedly deflating the efficacy of emblematic systems of power. Incorporating references as diverse as Jesus, Swastikas, cockroaches and even Snoopy, Ocampo’s paintings offer a crowded, cynical and heavily ironic slant oncontemporary post-colonial culture.
