Away Back in The Long Ago

C+N Gallery CANEPANERI is proud to announce “Away Back in the Long Ago”, a solo exhibition by the American artist of Philippine origin MJ Torrecampo, born in 1992 in Manila and currently living and working in Orlando, Florida, USA.
Opening on February 27, 2025, in Milan, Torrecampo’s exhibition marks her second solo presentation at the gallery and showcases a series of new works that delve deeply into the rich world of Philippine mythology. These works explore timeless themes such as cultural identity, the immigrant experience, and the complexities of family dynamics – subjects the artist addresses through a contemporary lens and a bold artistic approach.
In “Away Back in the Long Ago”, Torrecampo reimagines traditional Philippine myths in a fresh visual language, blending elements of her Filipino heritage with a modern sensibility. Drawing inspiration from graphic novels, traditional Filipino art forms, and visual storytelling, she creates intricate compositions that both honor and reinterpret ancient folkloric tales.
