Makinarya is a masterful blend of Anthony Victoria’s prominence in aluminum etching and Rai Cruz’s oil painting on layers of cut wood. The show itself is a comical and ceremonial allegory to that of a tour in a factory to see and examine the Makinarya. Think of a manufacturing complex, a tour of the skillful creations of both artists, while simultaneously being given an avenue to imagine life, ideologies, and civility through the pieces being shown.
