Thirty-three artists from across the regions released their inner anima in a show at the Erehwon Center for the Arts in Old Balara in Quezon City. The theme of the show, “Unleash the Beast Within,” allowed the painters free scope to reconnect with their brute nature and harness its artistic potential.
The exhibit was organized by Caloocan-based painter Rodrigo Aniag, who has exhibited here and abroad. Aniag told the Manila Standard that the show was a mix of old blood from the University of the East and new blood from the University of the Philippines.
The ribbon was cut by businesswoman and socialite Aida Posadas who helped set up the exhibit, he related. The participating artists decorated the venue and Aniag himself took charge of maintenance work. Of those who submitted paintings, the more familiar names are Demi Padua, Sam Penaso, Richi Yee and Aniag himself.
Some of the works on display until October 29 tell a fuller story.
