Filipino pop artist Sean Go unveils his latest art exhibition, “Victory Road,” at Secret Fresh Gallery from June 2 to 14.
This exciting collection of work is Go’s homecoming exhibit after a year of studies at Parsons Paris and his second show at Secret Fresh Gallery, following the successful “Fallacies of Fantasy” in June 2023.
“Victory Road” features a vibrant visual exploration of triumph, perseverance, and the resilience of the human spirit. The artist’s signature pop aesthetic will be on full display, marrying bold colors, playful imagery, and his unique brand of pop culture appropriation.
The exhibit title “Victory Road” evokes a specific childhood memory: the final route in the Pokemon games, before facing the Elite Four and conquering the Pokémon world.
“Just hearing the phrase ‘Victory Road’ gives me the chills,” says Go. “I remember stocking up on revives, max repels, and ultra potions, preparing for the ultimate test.”
The exhibit delves into these iconic memories and transcends mere nostalgia. It serves as a metaphor for life’s journey, remembering that every person has a unique “Victory Road” to complete, however different, but all beautiful in their own ways.
“What an apt metaphor for life, right?” Go asks. “This exhibit is about celebrating our shared experiences and the unique paths we take.”
Victory Road is presented in collaboration with Derek Flores of DF Art Agency and Bigboy Cheng of Secret Fresh Gallery. The exhibit on view from June 2 to June 14 at Secret Fresh Gallery located G/F RONAC Art Center, Ortigas Ave., Greenhills, Manila.
