AFM Gallery

Guests are invited to witness a special live Capoeira Painting Performance, accompanied by musicians, where the artist will transform the gallery into an open studio and create a monumental work before the audience.

Alliance Française de Manille (AFM) presents a solo exhibition by Henri Lamy, featuring works inspired by the landscapes, people, and daily rhythms of the Philippines.

Blending classical influences with contemporary abstraction, Lamy’s paintings explore gesture, layering, and physical engagement. Through his distinctive Capoeira Painting practice, the canvas becomes a space of movement and expression where portraits, street scenes, and cultural references emerge through vibrant textures and rhythmic compositions.

The exhibition includes works depicting seafaring journeys, local workers, urban scenes, and reflections on popular culture, alongside pieces influenced by the artist’s travels abroad. Together, the works form a visual dialogue between cultures, memory, and motion.
