Manila Art 2010

Khim and I attended the Manila Art 2010 at the SMX Convention Center last August 1, 2010 where it exhibits contemporary art of the Philippines' leading galleries and of the Asian region. It is the second international art fair hosted in our country.

I was uber excited for this event not only because I was a newbie but I was into the rewarding feeling to see great works of art. Everybody sees things differently and expresses it through speech, writing, dancing, singing, music, research, painting and all the likes. To which I conclude... In art, there's never a wrong or right answer, thus, it makes it more interesting to discover and explore the hidden.

Well anyway (sorry to drift :p), the moment we entered the main room, everything that I have pictured in my mind blossomed into a reality. Such a fuzzy feeling :)

In random, below are some of the works I adore. I can't post all of them though :p

"Hope is part Fear, Fear is part Hope"

Jonathan Ching

Khim and I exchanged views and ideas of the paintings, debated, and rarely agreed XD

"San Sebastian: Fiori Di Gioia Dalla Sofferenza"

Noli Principe Manalang

"Share your Blessings"

Kevin Balboa

"Freedom Bar"

Philipp Ines

"Halal-man"

Kaida

"Hole"

E. Tresreyes

It was a fun, fun, fun day but we lacked time to scrutinize each work. Bummer!!!

"Absence of Struggle"

Jason Montinola

"Sleeping with the Fishes"

Ralph Barrientos

Oh, there was a mini-event where everybody (I think) was invited to take part on painting, sketching or anything they're good at to capture the model on their pads.

The time was short and we're tired from walking but the experience was worth it! See you again next year :)
