DEUS EX MACHINA
In Interpretations
on JUNE
22, 2012 at 11:37 AM “Deus Ex Machina” is a Latin term which literally mean “god from the machine.” The main component the painting is a paradoxical “machine-god” hoisting a cloned fetus. It is a parody to the obsessive nihilistic thinking of many who relied much on the machine to the point of making those machines as their “gods” or to such extent that men wanted to become the lifeless and heartless ”machine-god” themselves. The terrifying armillary head of the “machine-god” showing off the bullets in its mouth is monstrous, grotesque and demonic. Such iconographic elements manifest the irreducible quality of the gods and represent death. It evokes what seems to be an artificial path of man’s destiny towards a cold nihilistic future…the death of mankind and rise of the machine. Some people today are “machine-god”. They are so much engulfed by the machine, by the fast-rising technology. They work like a machine, depend on machine to the point that they wanted to become machines themselves. Work for them is their priority that oftentimes they forgot to bond with their families. The proliferation and advancement of our technology disband and weaken our basic social structure which is the family. This is represented by the almost disappearing linear rendering of a towering structure in the painting. Some are addicted to computer games instead of interacting with their family. “Deus Ex Machina” reminds us what we and where we are now. The fetus enclosed by a protective crystal shield hopes to offer a solution: in spite of dominion of the machine in our lives, we should protect the newborns from the powerful claws of those machine-gods by reviving our spiritual connection with our Creator and strengthen the family ties once more through deep, meditative prayer.Advertisements

REALITY BEYOND REALITYIn Reviews on
JUNE 22, 2012 at 10:25 AM Reality beyond reality is a psycho-intellectual domain that is the result of the psychological and intellectual formulations of man as a generic being. Sometimes called surrealism, it creates not only dualism of shapes and colors, but also a multi-verse which, in philosophy, means the plurality of worlds as conceived by the human mind. Human emotion is intertwined and makes its power work either way—to attract or to repel. And no way can anyone remain unmoved by this kind of reality as a way of articulating givens in the objective world into a new kind of reality beyond reality. Dali, De Chirico, Delvaux count among the westerners who introduced this kind of domain into the world. Freud’s psycho-analysis was factored into the artists’ emotional-intellectual formulations. But grossly overlooked, particularly by the western art critics and historians, was a body politic caught teetering between world wars. The artists therefore sought refuge in the human mind which they thought was beyond the reach of bullets and other products of man’s evil genius: Technology. Both software and hardware. Include the moral dimension thrown out of sphere of significance. In the local art scene, an artist has summoned the powers resident in her head, heart and hands to “confront” humanity with her own brand of reality beyond reality. Camille dela Rosa, 27, in her 16th solo show titled “Aenigma” (ArtisCorpus Gallery, Haig, San Juan, MM, Dec. 5-28), demonstrates that hers is a ken that defies youth, and graphically shows that the irrational world leads to a rational discourse on her theme and variations. Man and machine and the latter’s manifold contraptions, spell humanity’s plight in today’s neticized world. In Eternal Mother, the mother with hair cropped to a brown dotted halo, is emptied of brains which had been supplanted by a myriad of technological by-products. A woman, in all her glorious nudity, assumes a Christ-like stance on an invisible cross, with her greenish necktie hanging between her enormous breasts down to her path to paradise. Further down is a baby ready to come into this world, but what awaits it is a flower with a skull for a stigma. Cavernous is the larger woman’s torso that engulfs the muscular legs on high-heeled shoes. Nine dragonflies in diminishing shapes and intensities, flutter centerward to suggest the message of freedom and release from aninsensate world.
This kind of woman’s world is echoed in Coatlicue. Behind is a woman’s buttocks—either augmented or au naturel—against whom the foreground woman is transformed into a grotesque being: Twin reptilian skulls for a head, a skull between her gorgeous breasts (by the way, difficult to paint, technically), a baby finding its exit down a serpentine world supported by legs with bird feet. The ground that looks like a tree trunk, or vice versa, rises to a crown of at least 17 skulls in various angles. Is this, or isn’t this the way the world, in the large, despicably looks down at women? A minified woman, in the Christ-like stance sans a cross, but instead against the exposed brain of a big female figure that almost occupies the vertical canvas, is the central figure in the head of a large woman in Ouroboros. A brown snake with white stripes coils around the minified woman, with root-like veins sprouting from the skull of the magnified woman down the stony bottom. Behind the four caves is a structure that could pass for ancient ruins, with the central post-and-lintel door duplicating the inward direction of the upper cave wherein a baby dangles precariously. Man’s gradual transmutation into a faceless mask, with innards and the cut-up heart exposed, is a pictorial discourse on man’s identity loss that now impends, thanks or no thanks to runaway technology, shown in Galahad. A solitary column, with skulls as base and capital, is a silencer to humanity’s cry for respect and human dignity where man and machine have exchanged roles. The 3-part cycle of life shows generic man’s cycle (just the head) in denouement. The pelvic bone is central in Cycle of Life I, gets lost in the face of a person in profile (Cycle of Life II), and returns disfigured in Cycle of Life III. Man has returned to its skull state, with the leftward direction bringing the cyclic issue to its genesis—ghoulish and contentious. If sacrilege rears its ugly head on God’s creation in His image, blame it not on people themselves, but on their senseless use of their inventions. And Dela Rosa offers a respite. Sacred Bull reminds people about India where cattle, longhorn or shorthorn, is considered sacred. This work shows a herd of longhorn breed, with a skeletal cowboy astride the carcass of a bull with the snout of a snarling wild beast. The Awakening points to man’s awakening from a brutal and inhuman neticized world into a world where man is finally brought to the meaning of the Cross. The minimal Cross is due to perspective, but its central position is a hands-down clarification of Christ’s centrality in human life, machines and all notwithstanding. Dela Rosa herself emphasized this with the size of the canvas, 60” x 60”, making it the largest in her body of works in her current show. Man’s own passion and death (the latter of identity and dignity), amid the cold contraptions at present, is not, certainly, the end of mankind, Dela Rosa assures her viewers. While Resurrection still shows skeletal figures, the arms this time now start to rise, with the bones tapering upward, displaying strength, as the game at the center chirpin silent abandon.
Despite the initial shock that the artworks give to viewers, they are, conceptually at core, subtle yet focused. This is clearly shown in the figures’ centrality, and the fact that Dela Rosa, firmly in control of her faculties, has diffused the background of each work. All the works are noted for their originality of concepts, and their strength is subtlety. by PAUL BLANCO ZAFARALLA November 29, 2009, Manila BulletinComment »

NOVEMBER 16, 2009 at 4:18 PM LOGICAL evolution is clamor and battle cry of the academe. Quests for reason, for its apparent presence or absence, had always been the foundation supporting the seemingly pretentious intellectual discussions in the field of the arts. However, it had always been so clear from the very start that Art should be free of reason, free from logic, free from intellectual explanation. As Art is an expression of its creator, the artist, it must touch senses and sensibilities without unnecessarily burdening itself with its causes, its whys, its wherefores, and its processes. It is the effect of Art that is sublime and important. It is the residue and tangible output of Art that is left behind. It is the result of the art making process that remains to speak for the artist. WHEN mouths open, Art suffers. Successful art stands on its own. Unsuccessful artists have to voice out their reasons. They have to field their statements, only to provide noise to their ignored works. When words replace visual impact, only one thing is proven: that the artwork cannot speak for itself. The same can also be said of its delivery as it reaches its public and more importantly how it touches and communicates with its audience. It is indeed plain and simple that the quieter the artist, the better the work of art. Intuition rules over reason. Subliminal creation defies logicPRIVATE EDUCATION
Camille De La Rosa is daughter of the late great painter Ibarra Y. De La Rosa and humanities and art history professor Ethel Dimacuha, also a visual artist. Perhaps aware of the then pathetic plight of artists, Ibarra purposely did not encourage Camille to pursue her own artistic vision. He did not teach her how to paint, nor expose her to the art world he circulated in. Upon his demise in 1998, Camille nevertheless followed her heart and decided to become a painter. Ethel provided Camille with much needed support and encouragement. As constant observer, Ethel taught Camille the basics of painting, as the young artist started to produce art like her father, possibly in the style reminiscent of the French Impressionists. The noted artist Ben Francisco would be credited for Camille’s ultimate development as a painter, as a visual artist. He introduced her to the vast world of painting and gave her a dose of art theory, accompanied by various techniques in drawing and painting. Camille’s intense ambition to create a style of her own inspired her then to paint incessantly. WITH a non-formal yet consistent artistic education outside of the College of Fine Arts, Camille developed her own style without the logical guidance of academic instructors, imposed and forced upon their students. Neither was she programmed systematically in the creation of art from basic lines, the production of forms and the use of color, to composition, to the development of artistic concepts, artist style and artistic expression. Education states that one must learn the rules in order to break them. Greater artists need not even know the rules, so there is nothing to break. PROLIFIC is distinctively Camille’s trademark. She has had 15 solo exhibitions from the time she was only 16 years of age till she became 26 last year. This incessant production is further compounded by participation in over 50 group exhibitions here and in Asia and Europe. In the absence of formal education in the Fine Arts, that amount of art making in 10 years can surely replace 5 or 6 years of academic study. In her early career, Camille produced spontaneously and exhibited her landscapes, flowers, gardens, churches, portraits, nudes, people in various endeavors, and her abstracts. Her collectors continued patronizing whatever she produced. Yet suddenly in her 8th year as artist, she became restless and an urge to get out of the doldrums besieged her. She felt the gnawing call to unravel her realpsyche.
AN AUSPICIOUS SIGN appeared in 2005 when Camille drew “Portrait of Anatomy”. Done in charcoal on paper, the central image is a human skull composed of naked muscles and bones from various segments of the human body, with a reclining female figure serving as lips. Symmetrically composed, a traditional landscape frames the central figure. Here is a work emanating from Camille’s inner self, conveying a hidden passion for deeper unfathomable mysteries. The drawing caught the taste of the respectable art jury and won for Camille an honorable mention in the drawing category of the 58th Annual Competition of the Art Association of the Philippines. IT TOOK another three years, in December 2008, when Camille got the courage to develop her newly unraveled innards. She appeared as guest artist in Welbart’s second solo exhibition SONA where she presented “Hordes of Charlatan” in oil on canvas. The piece was graciously accepted and purchased by a private collector. This marked the start for Camille to leave her artistic traditions behind, ushering her into the world of contemporary art. The participation of Camille’s so-called “surreal” paintings entitled “Backward Development” and “Narcissism Unbound” in _Walong Filipina_ (Eight Filipinas) in March-April 2009 received commentaries at the Liongoren Gallery. In May 2009, Camille’s “Virgin of the Rose” won second place at the _Pagalingang Pinay _Art Competition sponsored by the galleries of Reposo in Makati. In July at the ManilArt09, Kulay Diwa Gallery presented Camille’s works solely in its booth. The oil version of “Portrait of Anatomy”, the mystical “The Chalice”, and the 6×6-feet “Those who have ears, hear… Those who have eyes, see…” covered the whole booth’s walls. On the same month, Camille then entered her “Apocalypse” at the Annual GSIS Painting Competition. In September, her work “Awakening” was featured in a New York publication, A BOOK ABOUT DEATH, an international exposure for the artist through the Emily Harvey Foundation, orchestrated by Tala Gallery’s president James Berdach. She then participated in a group show Subtle Indiscretion in August-September with a piece called “Bestiality” and in Citem Fame’s Art Manila in October with two additional pieces “Inevitable End” and “Resurrecti Scientia”, both exhibitions under the auspices of Artis Corpus Gallery. CONVINCED of her potential as a trailbla ze r in Philippine visual art, Artis Corpus Gallery offered to re-launch Camille De La R osa beyond her image as traditionalist. In her 16th solo exhibition, Camille has come of age. Camille has shed off her superficialities, literally, figuratively, and most importantly aesthetically. Here is a visual artist surfacing entirely from her own self-made shell, with a serious artistic statement to contend with. CAMILLE’S new works are expressions of an inner conflict, although none may be associated with pain and gore. These can possibly be expressions of an internal rebellion to break away from tradition, although one can only surmise. Her works speak of a destruction of the words _nice_ and _pretty_, without having to go to such terms as _dark_ and _ugly_. Torment or angst do not have a place in the vocabulary of her works. One can actually imagine slightly playful thoughts, something notoriously naughty, happening in the mind of the artist as she composes her pieces, puts in the flavors of her colors, and slaps her canvasses with her simple signature, signaling not the end of the process, but the start of a new one. AESTHESIA is the “ability t ofeel or perceive sensations”, or “mental responsiveness and awareness”. It is a word probably invented as back-formation of “anesthesia”, yet it describes exactly what Camille’s new paintings are all about. They are the chronicles of her senses and her sensibilities. They are journals of her inner experiences, her own private adventures. Camille’s new paintings appeal not only to the five commonly known senses of sight, sound, smell, hearing, and taste, but also to the thousand existing others claimed by Eastern practitioners: those attributed to the chakras of spirituality, wisdom, communication, physicality, potential, sexuality, and materiality.AENIGMA
FROM 11 exhibition pieces birthed by the 2005 “Portrait of Anatomy” drawing, a new series emerges. This time, a more cohesive theme baptizes her body of works: “aenigma” or “one that is puzzling, ambiguous, or inexplicable; a perplexing speech or text; a riddle”. It comes from the Latin _aenigma_ and the Greek _ainigma_, both referring to riddles and fables. Google reveals further that enigma simple means “anything that arouses curiosity or perplexes because it is unexplained, inexplicable, or secret”. If occult simply means hidden, then enigma is occult. If mystery were simply unknown, then Camille has trodden on mysterious grounds. Camille has embarked on an adventure beyond reason. Camille has revealed the activation of her subconscious Mind and given us the result of her own illogical evolution. Camille has mutated as an artist in order that her inner Self can be sensed by us. As her artistic evolution proceeded in leaps and bounds, so have these works materialized. “AWAKENING” is appropriately the first work presented in this exhibition. Very buddhist in theme and context, it comments on man’s insatiable desires and their accompanying greed. The artist focuses on the man in the heart of the being, balancing the right eye widely awake and aware of the realities of life and the left eye blinded by greed and self-centeredness. Mammoth desires require huge appetites. The dinosaur in thechakra of materiality at the base of the spinetakes on this role.
IN GRATITUDE for Camille’s own Ethel, “Eternal Mother” is presented in the same formalmanner as the traditionally symmetric portrait. Symbols abound in this piece. The roles of the woman as the birth chamber, as the carrier of both adored beauty and sacrifice, and as the nurturer are all present in this work of art. The snake framing the skull of time reminds us of continuity, the never ending cycle of change and transformation, the impermanenceof things. The central female figurecrowned by the moonin all its glory is image of the timeless woman, the only constant reminder of strength, compassion, and wisdom. A fully grown fetus resides in the chamber of the heart, underneath which is a skull completing the cycle of regeneration, in the core of the Eastern lotus, an omnipresent image in buddhisticonography.
IN CAMILLE’S “_Ouroboros_” (translated “disambiguation”), the serpent biting its own tail is ancient symbol of cyclicality and self-regeneration. Subliminally, it serves as aura of the naked female figure birthing the child wrapped in its primordial cocoon, possibly implying that regeneration occurs only when associated with the female energy. Coffins in the caverns of the lungs remind us of the eventuality of death, yet only to serve as the grounding earth for the springing of new life. “ R E SURRE CTION” is a lo gical offspring of “Ouroboros” a s it talk s of phoenician rebirth, the ability to rise on one’s own. The lance th at pierced Christ in his cross is presented as central figure of this work, yet hidden to the common eye by the human ribcage. Its deceitful head is that of a crocodile. The meanings may be drawn subliminally with the interjection of Egyptian insects of divinity: the beetle, the spider, and the lizard. A special note on the spider’s role in the life of the Christ: a fable tells of a spider s pinning its heavy web to cover the mouth of the cave to hide the infant from the swords of Herod. Truth needs to be hidden from the eyes of the lus tful. CELTIC lore brings us to the next painting “Sacred Bull”. Camille clearly made this tribute to the male energy, possibly one for her contaminating father, as she speaks of physical strength, virility, and the ability to procreate for the perpetuation of the clan. Bull is the sun, the protecto r and guardian of the sacred. Yet underneath the figure of the bull are the hands that toil, the hands that work the earth. Reality creeps in beneath the glory of the handsome bull. It is also the symbol of hard work and materialism. This painting somehow serves as the perfect central figure between “Resurrection” and “Galahad”, two pieces which quote from the symbols of the Christ, his glory and his reality, leaving the viewer to guess. “GALAHAD” appears as the hooded creature as he disintegrates in ecstasy upon seeing the holy grail, traditionally searched for endlessly by Arthur’s knights. Greedy skeletal fingers and impure disintegrating heart surround the unholy quest, which has never ended to the present. As the fabled cup that was used by the Christ in his last supper, this vessel is famed to possess divine powers of wisdom and the potentials surrounding it. THREE paintings aptly titled “Cycle of Life” are presented
in the n ext sequence, as if to remind us of the very essence and theme of this exhibition. Science has proven to us the conservation of matter and energy. Life itself must devour life to live and live again. Elements such as the coiled creatures eating flesh, man’s predecessor eating the man eating the reptile, and jaws of the sharks consuming the man consuming his brain, all repeat the same story. One cannot really destroy that which has been created. Only transformation, and therefore conservation, remains the only action. AZTEC mythology brings forth “_Coatlicue_” (translated “our grandmother”). This goddess wearing a skirt of serpents is the earth goddess who was mo ther of the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the other gods and goddesses, clearly a reflection of ancient belief that the Earth is the center of the Universe as well as its source. Coatlicue’s top joins two serpent heads together. Her skirt weaves upon it a multitude of snakes. Snakes had been symbols of death and fertility. Although a nourishing mother, she is also a devouring monster which feeds upon everything that dies. This is the very role of the earth, as it really is. It is the source of life and everything must go back into it to be rebirthed in one other form. THE LAST painti ng in Camille’s current e xhibition is her own apocalyptic view of humanity: “Amph ibius Manster”. S he remarks: “Rising out of the ocean i s a man-like sea monster representing the evil forces of the universe. With its mouth wide-open , it shouts for h orror. It shows off its oversized teeth to suggest pain for the afflicted. Its chest is a blood-sucking parasite that spares no one. Its head turned away from the vie wer to connote dishonesty and deceit. It has many arms to suggest that it is a master weaver of delusions. It steps on dead bodies amp lifying its triumphant goal: d estruction.” EXHIBITION NOTES BY ENRICO J. L.
