A July Thursday at Kulay Diwa
July 31, 2003
This Thursday talk was a memorable one for me as I was heartened by the small group we had. I was late, arriving at 5 pm with a debate going on. Jonathan Castro, an artist, who was giving out invitations for his Boston show. He was adamant about the aesthetics of his invitation wherein he ommited pictures of his work and titled it as ‘Collectibles’ a misnomer. To each his own ‘diba?’ Yet one still would like to be aware of costs and right information even in this invitation detail. Its quite expensive to be quite purist on concept alone. It developed to a lighthearted discussion for a time but was redirected to a much important one when everyone seemed to settle down. We really are blessed yet we should all take advantage of this bounty to the fullest. It really is not permanent yet . We must all be strive to be stable independently as soon as we can as we have a growing responsibility to ourselves and to the community we belong to. Let us take care of our art as our art would take also care of us.
Kulay Diwa Galleries located at 25 Lopez Village, Lopez Ave., Sucat, Parañaque City is steadily flourishing in the able hands of Bobi V. and Bobbit Nolasco and we are all recipients of this great venture in the arts. This day though it was a talk that encouraged the youngest to just be resourceful with our learning, interaction and habits as we all would be potentials. The corporeal question of our existence other pursuit and process of our fellow artists. Conceptual amidst the
The complex search of chromatic expression guided by frenetic frenzy explains most of this artist’s academic and theoretical interest. Yet one cannot simply throw away the simple nuances of being human or humane, for that matter, as one becomes when an artist shares his own experiences and pursuits. Validity and contribution stood at end with humanity and inspiration as we try to describe and bring to life Jojo Lofranco at Kulay Diwa Galleries.
Why is man such a variance animal of deficiency and complications yet at one leap could be a success?
One wonders as you find yourself in this unique and surprisingly enlightening talk on what should an artist hold fast to grow and understand in this ever undemocratic yet humane profession. Where weeding out mediocrity in art is essential to survive and finesse a requisite to expound on and that when mystic and myth are taken down from most established artists the more it hounds them still. Where Art means humanized genius at work in uplifting one’s state of being and art simply a career. And being rooted to one’s patriotic pride in this case being a Filipino would be a longer road to success.
One finds dramatics a tool essential to expressiveness particularly in defending the one’s bum life. But when one is successful it is held as an aesthetic success. For this case though, the truth sets one free.
We found ourselves particular about comparisons as we further delved in the coincidences of similarities and found answers and excuses on validity and integrity. Further more, sincerity of vision becomes integral only when accompanied by consistency.
Why is the Filipino’s concept of a gallery in extreme from the notion of a Filipino artist?
When we look at the majority of Filipino artists falling in line with the generic aesthetics of the mundane we accept this as a phase every one could learn from so that most are willing to wallow on this likely popular perception for most of one’s career life in the arts. Few move beyond and perhaps liking the opulence and illusions of fame they bring, influence others some more. Then we legitimize such excesses without responsibility and educated validity. A gallery is a venue and nothing more than the people behind it or the vision they bring--- be they artist, curator, writer, critic or gallery owner.
