A Quotidian Reverie by Perfecto Palero, on view at Galleria Nicolas Glorietta 4
Exhibit runs from July 13 – 23, 2023Within the tender folds of everyday existence lies an ethereal beauty that visual artist Perfecto Palero, illuminates with delicate grace. In a world filled with grandiose events and sensational experiences, there exists a profound lyricism in the prosaic aspects of everyday life. It is within these seemingly ordinary actions and routines that we find a remarkable reflection of existence.
In his transcendent vision, Palero unveils the extraordinary within the mundane actions people perform each day. With poetic reverence, the works for this exhibition transports viewers into a realm where the ordinary is rendered luminous, and the trivial reveals profound truths about the human experience. By incorporating scenes of the everyday with his familiar subjects of bejeweled landscapes and mountainous terrains, Palero compellingly captures the complex correlations of life and the way we move around them.
"A Quotidian Reverie" challenges the notion that art is confined to the extraordinary or the grandiose by shining a spotlight on the ordinary, this exhibit celebrates the remarkable in the everyday. It invites viewers to pause, reflect, and discover the beauty, meaning, and interconnectedness that permeate even the simplest actions. And in doing so, it encourages a renewed appreciation for the discerning significance of the mundane–offering a fresh perspective on the rich tapestry of human existence.
