In Alulong, his first solo exhibition at the Eskinita Art Farm, Bautista continues to dwell deeper on the lives of dogs as a reflection of our collective destiny as a people. Loaded with distortion as a visual style, when a dog howls, it is most likely to be hungry, scared or grimacing in pain. It could also be a premonition of bad happenings to come--this is where Bautista effectively ponders on his canvases.
