Three Great Art Shows, and a Big Frakking Lunch at Omakase. // June 24, 2010

Last Saturday, before dropping by 20/20 at The Collective, I hung around my family’s gallery because it was the last day that three great shows are going to be up. New ones would be mounted on the following Tuesday, so it was my last chance to see the shows. Glad I went to take a peek! These are probably three of my favorite shows to be mounted at the same time. Quite a combination, I was super impressed.

Kaloy Sanchez.

Frederick Sausa.

Michael Muñoz.

The shows were by Kaloy Sanchez, Frederick Sausa and Miguel Muñoz. I honestly can’t pick a favorite among the three. I’m super attracted to the aesthetic of Sausa’s work. It’s really the kind of look that I love, especially this one piece that was all wrapped up and ready for pick-up (sniff, sniff). You’ll see the photo later. I love the ideas behind Muñoz’ work, and obviously, the look is very striking and bold. Sanchez works for this show are mostly black-and-white, but his show is far from muted. The strokes are bold, and the resulting look is intense.

Obviously, I’ve lost a little bit of my ability to articulate these things in an art majorly manner, but I hope the photos speak for themselves.

M.m.’s calculator watch! Jealous.

(After my viewage of the exhibits, I had lunch with the parentals, M.m. Yu, and Nona Garcia in Omakase. The pictures I took of the food sucked, but the company was great and I left the restaurant as happy as a stuffed clam. Not that I know how happy stuffed clams get.)

Click for the actual photos. The pieces are quite lovely.

This is the piece I was talking about earlier. So pretty!

In art, carina, exhibits, family

That Kaloy Sanchez piece above the couch photo — sobrang ganda! I have an unstoppable penchant for figurative works meshed with arbitrary painterly strokes on the side. Made me wish that I went to galleries more often. I usually just stroll through the top floor of SM Mega because it’s the closest to home. Sometimes I’m too afraid to interact with artists on opening night. Haha!

Thanks for sharing! :D

sometimes I wish we don’t have to think of a thesis that has some kind of social use so we can have installations, :))

Valerie, yay! But yeah, I was attracted to that the most. From his pieces, I mean. You definitely should go to exhibits! :) You don’t even have to go opening night, although that’s usually the best time to go because the aircon is on, the lights are nice and there’s free food. Plus artists are usually very nice. Also, you don’t have to talk to anyone :)

Helga, pretty no? I changed my mind; his show is my favorite.

Camille, feeling ko you can naman eh! I mean, you can pull it off :) Socially-oriented nga lang, so it might be a bit difficult, but you could :)

[...] suppose it’s good to remember that on-time is best. Anyway. The triple threat that came after the Sausa/Sanchez/Muñoz team-up that I loved so much featuers Andy Barrioquinto and Jon Jaylo, with Dave Lock as guest [...]
