Janos Delacruz mounts an exhibition entitled “ARCADIA” Featuring a collection of recent oil paintings and fine prints which opens on February 19, 2013, Tuesday at 6 pm at The Crucible Gallery, Artwalk, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City.
Arcadia refers to an idea of utopia and harmony with nature. The Artworks are a juxtaposition of images from mythology and urban life. It represents the transformation of paradise from an Eden – like garden to a metropolis
Janos Delacruz is a Filipino Artist, whose artwork can be best described as surreal and autobiographical. His works are a mixture of images in media / pop culture that represents different “personas” of people from daily life. His artwork depicts social reality but, in a childlike viewpoint. He has held exhibitions both locally and abroad. He was recently a Philippine Delegate to the Asian International Art Exhibition held in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Exhibition runs until March 3, 2013.

Clairelynn Uy’s latest exhibition, For Goodness’ Sake, exposes the role of pop culture within subjects of war and violence in contemporary times. Deviating from discussions of its usual causes (political and social frictions), comics, television shows, movies and video games are now put under new light. Instead of these being seen as entertaining distractions to more relevant happenings, they are re-introduced as vehicles through which one’s perceptions and ethics are shaped.
The spectacle of fighting and violence, sugarcoated with the use of animals and plants instead of humans, provides humor and appeal that makes the public’s tolerance, involvement and eventual addiction more acceptable. Cartoon-like battle scenes layered with realistic portraits of animals create a strange and tragically funny reminder of how these dispensable cultures subconsciously promote what society claims to detest. The title, taken from the popular English phrase that expresses exasperation, is ironically paired with these colourful and comical pieces, showcasing Uy’s own brand of creative wit.

From October 19 to November 02, 2012, Artist Jojo Lofranco will be exhibiting his latest works in his solo show: “Walking Contradiction”. A continuation from his last show at West Gallery, Lofranco focuses his skill once more on realism yet retaining his trademark in abstractionism. His concept derives from creating tension or blurring boundaries between abstraction and representation where the work is neither abstract nor objective.
