Merc Tenorio’s Still/Here: A Solo Art Exhibition, Part II

This is the second part of Merc Tenorio’s Still/Here: A Solo Art Exhibition featuring the artworks on the right side of the exhibit hall.

It is dominated by images of rocks. I do not normally pay attention at these solid minerals, but Tenorio’s vivid likeness and all-too-real depiction of these formations makes it enjoyable to gaze at them.

Merc Tenorio’s Still/Here: A Solo Art Exhibition runs from June 5 to 19, 2019 at the Gateway Gallery.
