Description
This show features one-of-a-kind graphite-on-panel “paintings” and metal sculptures of welded wire construction referencing heads. Based in San Francisco, Filipino-American artist Agelio Batle enjoys international recognition for his limited edition graphite writing instruments. A selection of the completed limited edition objects will also be on display.

Both sculptural and “painted” representations of human form reveal muscle, organs, tissue layers, even the folding of the brain. Interconnected patterns and textures reference issues of identity and individuality. Batle tells us: “These strange figures are not unlike ourselves. Just as we are a result of our environment, so are these beings.”

“Heads and Tales” is Agelio Batle’s first solo show at ArtZone 461 Gallery and the first time his metal sculptures are being shown in the United States. Please visit our website for more, and fascinating, information about graphite as a medium and its’ properties.
