A timely if serendipitous exhibit for Lent is “Consummatum Est” at the National Commission for Culture and the Arts Gallery in Intramuros, Manila.Serendipitous because the exhibit is really the “Kristo” exhibit of contemporary art depictions of the cross, held annually in different venues before to mark Lent, but which didn’t push through in the last two seasons for obvious reasons. It finally pushed through this new year if only to fill the exhibit program of the NCCA Gallery.
Something of the supplicatory value of the plague cross is evoked in Demetrio dela Cruz’s “De-Fence!,” one of the works on exhibit, in which a resin sculpture of three overlapping busts of the Crucified Christ is crowned by what looks like a miniature welcome arch ; the icon is set against a field of lavender and below it is a fiberglass prayer box which enjoins the devotee to drop her petition.
Mark Arcamo’s “Exalted” is an intriguing urban portrait of Christ, his visage balanced by geometric figures that partly hide, partly reveal him. The amethyst background connotes Lent.
