paintings by Pam Yan Santos from the exhibit "Like" at the Blanc compound. there's an "educational" theme to the paintings that seem "unfinished" with instructional texts like "color the picture", "connect the broken lines", and layers of words and numbers in the background....
Allan Balisi's "Mama Explaining Dawn to Me", from the exhibit "Spacing Out" at Blanc compound. i LOVE this painting - i love the colors, the women and their dresses; i love that the hues are somewhat subdued even though it is an oil painting.
CD's loong charcoal on fabric wall from the exhibit "Soaplands" at the CCP. i can just imagine how long this took to make! i love her flowers. i thought this would make a cool black and white tattoo design... hmmm :)
Goldie Poblador's thesis! "The Perfume Bar: Collected Memories and Ephemeral Representations". Such a clever collection! Its an entire perfume bar with the artist's unique handmade bottles and scents, each representing a different scent that evokes a certain memory or emotion - like "city streets" and "wasted youth". You can actually open each bottle and have a whiff. I was too afraid I'd break something though - and i wasn't really that excited to smell "pasig river". Oh and she had perfume boxes to match them too :) clever :)
and the winner (at least one of them) was Patty Eustaquio! yey! for her "Death to the Major Viva Minor" collection at SLAB. LOVED that. the only winner i picked this year :)
they'll be showing more pieces at the Ateneo Art Gallery next week. i can go see it with you if you want :)

The one of "Mama Explaining Dawn to Me" reminds me of a Degas painting where the ballerinas are facing the mirror while practicing..... the stance of the ladies in both paintings are very similar.
hmmmm... i wonder if the artist did that on purpose!
i don't think so... twinpopyale said the painting was based on an actual old photo - which she saw herself :)
