We got caught up in the Sanso Museum yesterday we were unable to go to the opening of A Hundred Blooms in Cevio's Art House. My friend, Kat Pauso, was able to attend though, with her daughter Kallie. Kallie asked her mom to purchase a flower painting - it was priced at PhP 1,000.00. She was so encouraged by the flower paintings that she saw that she declared to her mother that she will be drawing flowers and will be selling them in the lobby of their condo.
Below is the painting the mother and daughter purchased last night. Its acrylic on 12" x 12" canvas by James Imperial.
Kim and I decided to take a side trip to Cevio on the way home tonight. We passed by, and was able to speak to the caretaker if we could see the exhibit. He obliged.
The exhibit was composed of over a hundred 12" x 12" canvases. The media used were acrylic, oil, and MMC.
They were presented like checkerboard tiles in the gallery - very cute concept.
Kim liked this painting:
A piece made by Miguel Toni Villanueva. While browsing through the other artworks on display, I sent an SMS to Kat confirming which pieces she acquired. As it turns out, she purchased the other Miguel Toni Villanueva painting, an acrylic masterpiece on canvas.
So I knew I had to get the painting Kim liked, so that Miguel Villanueva's paintings would be owned by two college friends. Spoke to the caretaker, and left him my contact details, so that I could place a bid on the painting.
I really love going to Cevio. One of the reasons I do is because of Keith Paras. It was in this gallery where I discovered his paintings - they had a very Klimt feel to them. Below is a snapshot of a Keith Paras painting that was shown in ManilArt 2014.
And here's another Keith Paras painting we found in Cevio while browsing through the blooms:
