Danny Sillada - Text + Images @ SM Art Center

"Text + Images"
Danny C. Sillada
Art Center (SM MegaMall)
March 30, 2007 to April 16, 2007

Mindanaoan abstract surrealist Danny C. Sillada goes real in his forthcoming show titled : Text + Images, a suite of 53 autobiographical poems and drawings.

A former junior executive of Fortune Medicare, Inc. under the leadership J. Antonio A. Cabangon, Jr., Danny C. Sillada took a 360-degree detour from his vocation to the priesthood to the corporate and finally embraces his artistic calling in the art world.

Author and art historian Manny Duldulao hailed Danny C. Sillada as the foremost Filipino colorist in the country. His art, according to the UP professor and art critic Reuben Ramas Cañete, "is culled from manifold, eclectic sources, as diverse as his biographical experiences, and the polyglotality of the embedded culture of the Mindanaoan". Danny C. Sillada, as described in the research paper submitted to the University of Asia and the Pacific by Michael Marlowe Uy & Katrina Kalaw, is the embodiment of a Filipino who defies the existing trend. His multi-faceted attribute in the humanities, as a Filipino Renaissance man, is identical with those of well-rounded historical figures during the Renaissance period in Europe.

In 2003, Danny C. Sillada received two Pasidungog Centennial Awards in the fields of literary and visual arts in Davao Oriental, Philippines, and currently, one of the 13 featured artists of SAG (an on-line multimedia arts based in the USA) along with international artists such as musicians, literary writers and visual artists.

To date, Danny C. Sillada had already launched nine one-man shows, performed numerous live art performances, and organized a prestigious and historic multimedia art event known as the DC Sillada Convergence in 2006 at The Podium, Mandaluyong City, Philippines.

Danny C. Sillada's "Text + Images" exhibit runs from March 30, 2007 to April 16, 2007 at the Art Center, SM MegaMall.

For more details on Danny C. Sillada's "Text + Images" at the SM Art Center, please call 0921-2994538 or email: likha21@gmail.com.

Malang's Works on Paper @ Art Center SM Megamall

"Works on Paper"
Art Center SM Megamall
January 20, 2007 to February 4, 2007

Celebrating his 79th birthday, Malang mounts a one-man exhibit. "Works on Paper" features more than 40 new works in gouache.

Malang has been celebrating his birthday with a major one-man exhibit in recent years. He uses gouache in his latest set of works, the medium he admits he is most comfortable using. The reason Malang has produced so many works over the years is that he always tries to paint every single day, sketching a few lines even before he eats breakfast or touching up a few details before he goes to bed. Practice is the key, though he also keeps it interesting by being open to new ideas and new painting techniques.

A self-taught painter, Malang began as a designer for the Manila Chronicle and its suplement, This Week magazine.

For more details on Malang's Works on Paper at the Art Center of SM Megamall, please call 634-1284.

Art Center is located at the SM Megamall 4th Level, Bldg. A, Julia Vargas Ave. Mandaluyong City.
