About the Event
Altro Mondo Arte Cotemporanea is pleased to present Drawing from Life, a group exhibition by Cebuano realist painters at Altro Mondo Arte Contemporanea gallery, (3rd Floor, Greenbelt 5, Ayala Center, Makati City).
Artists from the Aroma Art Academy formed in Toledo, Cebu, come to exhibit their recent works to showcase various scenes from their distinct, individual perspectives. “Drawing from Life” aims to shed light on the beauty of the Filipino’s everyday. Gathered as serious realist painters, the members of the Aroma Art Academy make it a point to produce art in its highest, most dignified form, and that is through hard work, diligence, profound technique and skill.
As contemporary realist painters, Alcoseba, Belicario, Bobier, King, Lacorte, Pautan, Plarisan, and Ypon all strive to translate quiet and ordinary scenes into masterful renditions of pieces of artworks. All hailing from Cebu, which is known for its realist traditions, these artists bring the long established practice into the contemporary scene. According to one of the artists, it is in this practice where an artist’s true skill and talent shall be tested and honed because extreme discipline is needed to be successful in painting a realistic scene.
DRAWING FROM LIFE will be on view at Altro Mondo in Greenbelt 5 from 16 January until 4 February, 2018. For inquiries, please call call (+632) 501 3270 to 71 or email info@altromondo.ph or visit our website www.altromondo.ph
