It was a privilege to be part of the 2nd show of "Pakigangay" at The Blanco Art Gallery. “PAKIG-ANGAY 2: in the Province of Rizal” is a joint exhibit of ARTipolo Group, Inc. of Antipolo, Rizal and BAGHID Eastern Visayas Young Artists Association of Calbayog, Samar, September 01 - 30, 2022.
Pakigangay stands for interdependence or sharing. The theme fits well the cooperation of three groups as we hold this meaningful event. It shows how we embraces fellow artists belonging to BAGHID, ARTipolo and with the support of TBAG.
Prior to the event opening, ARTipolo sponsored youths of BAGHID, to have a lakbay-aral sort of exposure to the different galleries and art exhibits around Rizal provinces. ARTipolo seasoned artists also held some workshops and art camp for the youths of Samar. They had a meaningful and insightful experiences.
The Blanco Art Gallery also showcased some of the works of BAGHID, along with entries of ARTipolo group. The opening cited the contributions of each group and awarded the youth representatives of BAGHID certificates of appreciation. There were small group contest as well, and the event became a celebration of each groups' artistry.
My entry to the said exhibit is the flying lady, which hold a golden apple as she goes after the flying leaves of the holy scriptures. I entitled the said work "Palabras del Oro", which means Golden Words. It's size is 24 inches by 18 inches. It shows how one escapes the pull of worldly pleasures that soon becomes causes of worries and stress. Through the scriptures she finds freedom and comfort.
Please see the rest of the exhibit at TBAG Gallery 3, The Blanco Art Gallery (part of the Blanco Family Museum) #312-B A. Ibañez St., Brgy. San Vicente, Angono, Rizal, Philippines.
