Vinyl on Vinyl | Sheepskin

Change is good and character growth is defined by how someone evolves into a better person by being true to themselves. There is also consistency in how their personality defines their work. The passion that still burns in their eyes shows their adoration for their craft wanting to keep their feet on the ground while soaring to greater heights by shedding their skin or “Sheepskin.” Iyan De Jesus sums up as one of those local visual artists who have been working on her craft for more than a decade. She continues to define the odds and challenges of life in finding love for her work as it feels like the first time, which shows how her artwork has evolved over the years like she is telling her story beneath her works.

Cartellino Art | New Territories

Collaboration is not just about working out the differences, but also facing challenges in putting together a portfolio that would match together two different styles in an art form or any particular partnership that avoids overlapping each other’s work for a harmonious flow of creativity that would convey an organic equality in making something fresh and new to the eyes of those who would discover it. It’s like conquering “New Territories” that continue to be relevant, and subjective, and have the inspiration to present new vibrant things that continue to scale the heights of their newfound artistry that they have not done individually, which is the latest two-artist exhibit with CABNOV & Haraya Ocampo-Tejido.

Vinyl On Vinyl | Strange Times

Sometimes, the best inspiration can be found on the internet. It could be a meme or a recently viral post on a social media platform. Cyberspace has become this vast ocean of visual diversity from the child-like innocent to the unregulated content that children below the age of 13 are not allowed to see. It’s something to take in if you have a stomach or a pair of eyeballs that can withstand random content not innocent eyes. It can be entertaining, and yet if you have a vast look at anything virtually and reality it is something to take in in these “Strange Times,” which is the title of this solo show featuring Chalk Zaldivar at Vinyl on Vinyl Gallery. The presentation for his latest solo show is both entertaining and visually inspired on the internet.

MoCAF 2024 | Very Good Gallery

There are art galleries out there from the underground-type to the ones located in warehouses. But there’s one that taps into the grassroots and at the same time makes sure that art is accessible to everyone not only those who can afford it. But to those who can find inspiration to create something beyond just art that can be considered a universal common ground for everyone and between social classes. The Very Good Gallery is an artist-run space by two local artist scenes that are making their presence at the same time while discovering new talent that will be showcased by their newly opened art space that opened its doors early this year. This is also their first time to participate at MoCAF.

MoCAF 2024 | Vinyl on Vinyl

Vinyl On Vinyl showed up at this year’s MoCAF (Modern Contemporary Art Fair) showcasing some of the best visual artists in the country together with their in-house artists who continue to flourish in the local contemporary art community. MoCAF is relatively a new event that caters to local artistry since 2022 and continue to grow every year with its lineup for galleries participating. This year, VoV takes a subtle route in a small section in one of the event booths that featured some of the best and brightest artists in the local scene. But the entirety of the MoCAF event is certainly an overload of visual perspectives, and VoV is one of the standouts when featuring some of the artists that had their exhibit with the local gallery that has been around since 2010.

Galleria Nicolas | Hirameki: Cloudscapes

Cloudscapes can be viewed from Earth and often include just enough landscape to suggest scale orientation weather conditions, and distance (through the application of the technique of aerial perspective). Cloudscape and skyscape are sometimes used interchangeably, although a skyscape does not necessarily require a view of clouds.** It is an art by itself of a view of clouds or the sky. Rarely, if you would define one if you live in a densely populated city. But while living in another country in a small city in Adelaide, there are directions you can see the clouds or if you are outside of the CBD you will see cloud formations and most of it during the “golden hour” such as defined by a part of the title of Jomike Tejido’s latest Solo Exhibition.

HW Metro | 5 Alarm

Fire Trucks or Fire Engines have been around going back to the sixteenth century. It evolved from men moving a device that has a pressured tank to horse-drawn engines that have steamed powered pistons to spray water. Of course, the advancement of technology has changed the way how to put fire out with the development of these machines that are modified trucks. Specially-designed trucks that have firefighting apparatus that also transports personnel and carry an amount of water, which also carry special equipment for rescue and other emergency use. I’ve been fascinated by fire trucks at a young age and seeing one in person sparked my curiosity about these firefighting machines.
