The artworks in “Resplendence” is a testament to the power of collaboration, showcasing how two distinct realms can converge to create something truly extraordinary.
“Resplendence,” a collaboration between sculptor Michael Cacnio and Robbie Santos, the creative force behind Septième Rebelle, is a rare art exhibit that masterfully intertwines the worlds of sculpture and haute couture.
Cacnio is a celebrated sculptor known for his regal and often whimsical forms, while Santos has made his mark in the crowded fashion scene with his often avant-garde ideas. Together, they create a breathtaking collection that breaks through traditional boundaries.
In “Resplendence”, Cacnio weaves captivating vignettes through fabric and metal, transforming these materials into a testament of elegance and sophistication. The exhibit features both sculptural and wall-relief works, highlighted by the monumental piece titled “The Majestic.” This masterpiece serves as the centerpiece, encapsulating the ethos of the exhibition—an exploration of grace and the beauty of hard-won artistry.
While the use of fabric as a sculptural medium is not new, “Resplendence” breathes new life into this concept. Cacnio’s innovative techniques and Septieme Rebelle’s signature style elevate the brass forms and structured subjects, creating a dynamic interplay between texture and form. The artworks in “Resplendence” is a testament to the power of collaboration, showcasing how two distinct realms can converge to create something truly extraordinary.
This dynamic collaborative exhibition, showcasing exquisite brass sculptures alongside intricate textile couture, will be on display from December 1 to 13, 2024, at Art Lounge Manila at Molito Lifestyle Center in Alabang.
