In slaughterHOUSE, there is a specific portrayal of an image in the artist’s early life. The phenomena is a present position that enabled Andrade to take stock of his feeling with a feverish subjectivity and a constant reminder to have mutual support in a time of tribulation. In the canvas, we see still flashes of lucidity, and broken lights of memory rekindled in the exiles of a younger, and keener sensibility of the artist.

And because memory is less disposed to compromise, it has distinctively merited comfort to a slaughterhouse and treated as precisely as it once was – a home where it all began, how one has always already begun.

Andrade is known for his bewildering subjects that are represented by a singular object masked with powerful symbolisms in order to confer meaning to its value. Andrade has always been open to the present by constantly making a decision to give meaning to inanimate objects, and bringing forth a remarkable story on how they played in his life.
