Philippine contemporary art has been touted as among the art world’s best kept secrets. Even with that profuse accolade which our country can only humbly acknowledge, there is indeed more than a grain of truth to it. With a vibrant art audience heretofore unseen, matched only by the passion and energy of our art’s creators, a younger generation of talented artists continues to emerge one after another.

 

What our country now presents is a veritable visual feast: a plenitude of artworks that are a reflection of our artists’ varied expressions of differing styles and subjects, approaches and techniques. All the possibilities of form and synchronicities of colour emanate from diverse and disparate sensibilities, made all the more exhilarating by the unpredictable revelations that are now arrayed and visible on their canvases.

 

With a selective and discerning eye, Galerya Amalia handpicked twenty-seven established Filipino artists, cognizant of their diversified and distinguishing qualities and skills.

 

Welcome to “PLENITUDE: ABUNDANCE OF ART”!
