Brian Uhing’s “Strange as Angels” is on view at 1/of Gallery in Serendra. ‘Bruihn’ (his other monicker) is based both in Antipolo and Sagada as he also maintains a studio in the latter. The Fil-Am artist of German descent features a magically hypnotic collection of sculptural marionettes that embody a mix of cross-cultural beliefs and imagery.
Adding to the riveting and peculiar majesty of such ‘angels’ as Barzo, the angel of creative inspiration, Marespand, the angel for spells and incantations, and Arda Fravash, the guardian spirit and angel for human souls, each marionette comes with its own 6-foot pedestal of wrought iron and logs that used to serve as train tracks.
NOTE: Originally slated May 1 to 18, "Strange as Angels" has been extended until May 24, 2009.
