Humans never stopped yearning for new images – imaginations, writings on the wall, a stain, a splatter, some cloud formations, and many more — all these randomly and infinitely generate visuals and forms that tickle the mind to seek for what lies beyond. Have we seen everything? What other visuals can excite our eyes?
“1” surveyed what else could be done on grounds, surfaces and planes and how far materials could be manipulated in creating unique images. Attacking a clean slate, and producing a balanced composition that fits in the four corners of this ground, was the common denominator that each artist had to address. However, a different creative experimental approach placed each piece unique from each other.
The entire process was a challenge called upon by Vetro Gallery for their first art exhibit of the year, aptly titled “1”, and the response was met by a tour de force of artists ready to answer with their creative interpretations.
Aryan Sandiego, Bayani Galera, Beatrix Syjuco, Bong Paz, Dinan Pitas, Fitz Herrera, Gio Lebajo, Jay Ragma, Jayson Pettz Muring, Jhonas Villaviray, JJ Duque, Josep Pascual, Jun Cambel, Mak
Cuartero, Marlon Magbanua, Michael Pastorizo, Niño Cubacub, Ritche Yee, Sam Penaso, Valen Valero – These were the artists who featured in “1” at Vetro Gallery (135 Congressional Avenue, QC) and came up with a colorful mix of works that opened 2018 with a bang.
Vetro Gallery owner Michael Cheng dedicated the space as a showroom for his business of glass interiors and fixtures while hosting unique high-end furniture from Filipino designers like Ann Pamintuan. Once in a while, Vetro played the host for Cheng’s passion of photography, acting as a studio for commercial photography.
