Filipinos love taking photos, and they would go to great lengths to have a selfie especially when the background is interesting and compelling. Shutterbugs now have the perfect background suitable for the season with the wonderful Christmas tableau courtesy of Art In Island: First Interactive 3D Christmas Art Museum at the SM Megamall Event Center.
Mallgoers can have themselves photographed in a snow globe, be part of Christmas cake art, join Santa and his jolly crew, or be a character in a storybook scene with Alice in Wonderland or fairies. By standing in their preferred spot in the tableau, they will not only be part of a photograph, they will also be creating their own art.
That’s because the famous Art In Island 3D art museum in Quezon City has brought some of its famous masterpieces to SM Megamall to give mall goers an opportunity to appreciate art more because of the contemporary take on the pieces.
Art in Island is the largest 3D art museum of its kind in Asia. Founded by Korean Yun Jae Kyoung with other partners, it took 14 artists to complete the museum in Quezon City.
The stunning 3D interactive artworks can be touched, making the experience truly memorable. Aside from interactive 3D paintings that look real on photographs, the use of optical illusions, patterns, lights and colors create interesting perspective that are totally different from the real image.
Art In Island artists use different materials such as acrylic and oil paint to make the paintings look realistic. Their goal is to make known artworks become more accessible and appealing to a wider audience through the use of optical illusion and 3D paintings, to tickle the imagination of the viewers. They live by the maxim “Be Part of Art” which makes the work of the artists different from the traditional museums where visitors are mere spectators and photography is mostly prohibited.
Experience the Art In island 3D Christmas Art Museum in SM Megamall until December 31 simply by presenting a single receipt purchase worth P500 from any shop and restaurants in SM Megamall and a P120 entrance fee.
