GALLERY: MICHAEL CACNIO @GALLERIA NICOLAS FOR MANILART 2020

For “True Grit”, Michael Cacnio integrates works by some of the biggest names in Philippine art in his sculptures – including today’s top masters; pushing through the obstacles, appreciating the fruits of their labor. These artworks are representative of Cacnio’s commitment to art and the Modern Masters he personally respects, solidifying each of these artist’s position in the present era. Conjointly, the collaborative works address conversation, an exploration of Cacnio’s depictions of the tableaux scenes in an emotional and intellectual level.

This collaborative effort is due to a unique understanding of the temperament of important Filipino art. The junction of personalities, proficiencies, styles, and experiences contribute to a diverse body of work that addresses vital and current social narratives.

Grit is perseverance in the face of difficulty, boredom, adversity or sheer lack of will. Michael Cacnio’s “True Grit” playfully illustrates what makes the perseverance worthwhile.  It recognizes people for progress, praise people for perseverance, express gratitude for making the attempt. Cacnio strives to create pieces that exemplify willpower, conviction, strength and character; as he motivates others to be the best they can be, even in a midst of chaos and uncertainty, if they believe.

“True Grit” is the behavior one exhibits while trying to achieve success with anything in life, despite difficulty. The exhibition is about life and inspiration; it is about overcoming, becoming, and achieving together.
