Physically Present Mentally Absent

Lindslee’s latest solo exhibition Physically Present Mentally Absent explores the human condition and discusses ideas about
contemporary art, myth, beauty, the nature of Filipino Art, and the challenges of being an artist in his society.

He expresses life’s dualities in the human form, which is present in the many portraits and self-portraits produced throughout
the last decade of his career. The exhibition celebrates a dedicated, playful artist who experiments with human hair and taxidermy,
in his work spanning painting, sculpture and installation, from the absurd to the philosophical.

”Making art is energy from developing the concept, ideas to inventing devices of handling, processing, adding form and colour,
right through the outcome -all signs of the artist’s active presence. It is all about exerting oneself physically and mentally to
convey energy in art”.
