YSOBEL Art Gallery Celebrates the Art of Pottery in Mga Putikero

YSOBEL Art Gallery brings together an extraordinary group of prominent clay artists in, “Mga Putikero”. This group exhibit is on view from July 25 – August 3, 2015.

Bound for their love of clay, seven of the most respected names in Philippine pottery have come together to share a bit of their story in, Mga Putikero.
The exhibition features Jon and Tessy Pettyjohn from Laguna, Joey De Castro of Metro Manila, Pablo Capati III from Batangas, Pampango Benjie Ranada and Bacolod locals Joe Geraldo and Holtz Javier.

The exhibit will explore the meaning, beauty and craft of ceramic art. These artists will present a strong selection of pieces ranging from the rough terracotta sculptures to the strong tradition of wood fired stone wares. Intense craftsmanship and mastery of materials will be evident in the display of works. The exhibit highlights the facets of ceramic art. Ceramics is the mother term for any clay fired to permanence; these enduring works become the legacy of the Putikero who moulded it. These masters have captured the raw and inspiring pulchritude of the Earth and forged it into indelible impressions of beauty.

Opening and artist reception will be on July 25, 2015 ( Saturday), 6pm at YSOBEL Art Gallery, 2nd flr., Shops at Serendra,Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Show will run until August 3, 2015.

Dennis Gonzales: Convincing God To Sit With The Devil @ Nova Gallery

Exhibition date: July 11 - Aug 1, 2015

Dennis Gonzales appropriates his latest works with Nova Gallery as a struggle between the good and the evil. He depicts that within all of us and with every matter we face, the "yin" and "yang" factors are always inter-playing with our urges, emotions, and choices. There is a definite aura of light verses dark in his works that isn't represented in the most literal sense. It is always suggested but never said. Dennis has always treated his art as a juxtaposed reality with many perplexing layers. The harsh contrasts of lights and shadows, the stillness of implied actions, combined with the dangers facing the unaware - sets the undertaking mood for his latest works.

"Convincing God to Sit with the Devil" incorporates a new milestone in Dennis' career as an artist as he begins this new chapter in his series of works.

8 new works by Dennis Gonzales will be displayed from July 11th until August 1st including a large 8x6 ft oil on canvas work entitled "The Other Side". The exhibit will open on July 11th (Saturday) at 5pm with drinks and cocktails to follow.

Nova Gallery is located at Warehouse 12A La Fuerza Plaza, 2241 Chino Roces Ave., Makati City.
