Part I of my Exhibit Backlog Bonanza: Romulo Olazo! // August 5, 2009
Part One of my Three-Part Exhibit Backlog Bonanza features the Romulo Olazo 40-Year Retrospect put up by the Ayala Museum. You will be either pleased or disappointed at the scarcity of pictures of the works themselves. “What are you posting, then?” you ask. Pictures of our faces, obviously. More importantly, pictures of myself with personal heroes. These will be after the cut, because I am not as shameless as people probably think.
Here, however, are pictures of the works that I was able to actually take.

Romulo Olazo is widely known for his Diaphanous series, pictured above. Throughout his career, he has produced thousands of these works, although he has also curiously kept a healthy variation. In other words, despite the almost staggering number, it really doesn’t get old.

Here’s a close-up of one of the works.

A larger one mounted on the third floor gallery, I think.

Some works in a smaller section of the main gallery, with a bunch of people.

I do love his use of color. (He also makes fantastic nudes.)

The series of his outlined versions of his Diaphanous series is called Permutations.
Here is a piece from said series. Plus, my parents.

I saw a philosophy professor whose class I wanted to take!
Here is Dr. Garcia (he pretty much loves art), asking for Mr. Olazo’s autograph.

Obviously, we asked for a picture. Kuya, Mang Ola, ma maman et moi!
He reminds me of a walrus.
And because I can, here is a picture of me with Arturo Luz,
who is one of my favorite artists/personal heroes:

He is giving me a half-hug! :D If you do not know him, which by the way,
you should, he made one of the murals in CCP, and the pretty sculpture outside the Ayala Museum, against which Pau and I took pictures last year, because we are cool:

And, as promised, the rest of the action is under the cut.
So, clicket-y if you want to see. If not, then uh, go away.

My brother and his look of fake surprise.

My brother, myself, my mommy with Mr. & Mrs. Luz!

My mom & myself with Reggie Yuson. He made the pretty water sculpture in Bonifacio High Street. Here’s a picture of it that I stole from Flickr.

A WEIRD PLANT THING? This boggles my simpleton mind.

Then, we had a great dinner at Cibo.
The End.
