“Galerie Joaquin presents: Extraordinaire” on display at Power Plant
Show runs August 12 - 18, 2019“Galerie Joaquin presents: Extraordinaire”, a purposeful art exhibit wide-ranging in both scope and practice of nineteen (19) respected artists. The exhibit includes works by National Artist Abdulmari Imao, Presidential Medal of Merit Awardee Juvenal Sanso, Ramon Orlina, Raul Isidro, Angelito Antonio, Michael Cacnio, Dominic Rubio, Toym Imao, Aner Sebastian, Marge Organo, Ombok Villamor, Ram Mallari, Benjie Mallari, Richard Arimado, Perfecto Palero, Averil Paras, Milmar Onal, Wilbert Custodio, and Nap Limaten. The exhibit’s objective is to allow the artists’ different visions to converge and, so to speak, converse.
The artists selected have all exhibited a sense of the extraordinary in their works thanks to the underlying creativity and uniqueness of the artists themselves, several of them allowing an undeniable sense of interpreting everyday realities into something exceptional while other artworks are influenced by certain philosophies as well as different modernist and contemporary styles; beautiful in its simplicity, and full of character with no two images or influences alike. Others, on the other hand are shaped by the aesthetic of “Wabi Sabi”. This philosophy embraces the cycle of life, finding beauty in everything, even impermanence. It is an idea which values the natural, simple, weathered, and authentic aspects of objects and our being, and so, represents the artists’ profound relationship with the extraordinary natural world as well as each of their own personal growth.
This exhibition of representational and conceptual works of art is about the intense spirit reflected in and associated with the interpersonal relationship by these selected artists and their various extraordinary manifestations expressed in their art such as commitment, cooperation, inspiration, passion, and perseverance. The artworks exhibited are a definitive portrayal of each of the artists’ dexterity in the space that gives them pride and voice.
The initiative of the exhibit is to present various leading artists that have worked with the Galerie Joaquin Group through the years. Artworks to be presented are important pieces by the artists that underscore their core positions and dynamics within their respective art practices in this transpired era of contemporary art.
