A July Thursday at Kulay Diwa Gallery
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 already going on. Jonathan Castro, an artist, who was giving out invitations for his Boston show was on the hot seat. He was adamant about the aesthetics of his invitation wherein he omitted pictures of his work and titled it as 'Collectibles' — a misnomer. To each his own "right?" Yet one still would like to be aware of costs and the right information even in invitation details. It's quite conflicting to be quite purist on concept alone. It developed a lighthearted discussion for a time but was redirected to a much important one when everyone settled down. We really are blessed to have gatherings and discussions yet we should all take advantage of this bounty to the fullest. It really is not permanent. We must all 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 also take care of us.
Kulay Diwa Galleries located at 25 Lopez Village, Lopez Ave., Sucat, Parañaque City is steadily flourishing in the capable hands of Bobi V. and Bobbit Nolasco. 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 were topics too. Foremost in mind would be the role of conceptual amidst contemporary reality.
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 the end with humanity and inspiration as we try to describe and bring to life Jojo Lofranco at Kulay Diwa Galleries.
Why is a 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. We are 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 and work in uplifting one's state of being and treating art simply as a career. And being rooted in one's patriotic pride, in this case, being a Filipino would be a long road to success.
One finds dramatics a tool essential to expressiveness particularly in defending one's bum life. But when one is successful it is considered an aesthetic success. For this case though, the truth sets one free.
We found ourselves particular about comparisons as we further delved into the coincidences of similarities and found answers and excuses on validity and integrity. Furthermore, the 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 the artist, curator, writer, critic or gallery owner.
