"Agos ng Sining," a unique art exhibit featuring Bataan's endangered baby pawikan, is currently on view at Galerie "Y," SM Megamall. The exhibit runs until November 7, 2006.
Guhit, a group of eight noted visual artists, have been working quietly together for the past four years to improve their craftsmanship and creativity. The group is composed of Aladin Antiqueño, Angelo Baldemor, Araceli Limcaco Dans, Joven Ignacio, Felipe Mayoya, Azor Pazcoguin, Tito Sanchez and Janice Liuson Young.
The exhibit features the artists’ painting interaction on eight equal size canvases expressing their excitement and delight over the hundreds of newly hatched baby pawikan, which they set free to the sea during their recent sortie at the Montemar Beach Club in Bataan.
The painting interaction of the Guhit group, according to Araceli Dans, is a campaign to save all the pawikan found along Philippine shores.
“It is a wake up call to all Filipinos. Say ‘NO’ to selling the turtles and their eggs. Say ‘NO’ to dynamite and cyanide fishing. Say ‘NO’ to oil spill from commercial sea vehicles or any perilous elements that will destroy our corals and seas. If we love our country, we must save and maintain the pristine beauty and richness of our Philippine waters and seashores. It is the most valuable God-given inheritance we can give to our children and grandchildren,” she said.
Agos ng Sining opened today, October 25, 6:30 p.m. at the Art Center and Galerie “Y” located at level 4, Building A of SM Megamall. Eminent guests of honor for the exhibit's opening were National Artists Napoleon Abueva and Ben Cabrera, Jim Paredes of the Apo Hiking Society, and the Madrigal Singers. The exhibit will run until November 7.
Gallery hours are daily from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Interested parties may call Gallery Y at tel. no. 634-2704.
