TOP 20 PICKS AT "A CENTURY OF PHILIPPINE ART" EXHIBIT + SPECIAL FEATURE OF CHRISTIAN REGIS by Xandra

PICTURES POSTED

September 27, 2016

I went to "A Century of Philippine Art" exhibit last week at the top floor of the Century City mall. The works in the exhibit were works of a hundred years. All the works were made within the past century. There were works of rising Filipino Artists to the Fernando Amorsolo. There were all kinds of artworks.

As far as I know, this exhibit was in the care of Galeria de las Islas which is curated by Christian Regis, a Filipino artist

I was able to take pictures of my top 20 favorite artwoks from the gallery. I chose these 20 because they caught my eye and some have a more interesting inner meaning to it.

1. KAHIT NA...MASARAP by Karen Nabong




I loved how the artist incorporated objects into the art. It was lovely how it was cocnceptualized with all the food items together in the persona's belly

2. CLEAR PATH #1 #2 #3 #4 by Ronna Lara-bes




3. SAYAW SA APOY by Anjie Jimenez




This artwork caught my eyes simply because of its color. It used very warm tones, I love also, how there's contrast with a turquoise shade of blue in the midst of all the purple. That stood out.

4. CORDILLERA HOTEL, VIGAN by Loreto Racuya



This work reminded me of when I first learned how to use perspective in art. The first thing I drew with this newly-learned concept was a room, and this photo, reminded me of that.

5. TRANSCIENCE by Vaughn Lumibao





6. ACCISMUS by Vaughn Lumibao




7. PANATA by Patrick Macaso



8. YOU'RE HURT by Vaughn Lumibao




9. PRESIDENT ELPIDIO RIVERA QUIRINO by Fernando Amorsolo



President Quirino was actually the president when my lolo was in the senate. He is also the great lolo of one of my good friends so this guy, he stands out to me.

10.  CHOCKING GAMES by Vaughn Lumibao




11. PIETA by Francisco Riccardo Monti




My family loves the Pieta statue. We have a replica in my family's ancestral home and even at our family mausoleum. Its a bautiful image of the Mother Mary,carrying her beloved son, Jesus, in her arms.

12. THE CHASE By Vaughn Lumibao




I learned in the exhibit that

As an artist myself, I enjoyed viewing the gallery. There were so many beautiful sights to see from abstract arts, to portraits, to sculptures. I would really give a round of applause to Century City for creating such a beautiful exhibit and event.
