MANILA, JUNE 8, 2012 (MANILA TIMES) World-renowned glass
sculptor Ramon Orlina pays tribute to Philippine Independence Day by mounting an
exhibition of his latest creations starting June 12 at the Powerplant Mall in
Rockwell, Makati City.
Organized by premiere art specialist Gallery BiG in cooperation with
PNB-Allied Bank Luxeclusive, Brilliance is composed of 32 dazzling crystal
sculptures of varying sizes, colors and shapes. Each one a testament to the
artist's mastery of his craft and provides a glimpse into his concept and
visions.
His well-known green Asahi glass artworks with figurative forms are displayed
alongside his more recent abstract creations utilizing colored crystals in
amber, amethyst, cobalt, pink and white, thus Brilliance is his most colorful
show to date.
It also marks the first time that his artworks are being exhibited outside
the limited confines of a gallery or museum and into the highly visible atrium
of a commercial mall such as the Powerplant in Rockwell.
"We would like the general public to be given the chance to view and
appreciate these wonderful sculptures in a convenient location so that more
people can appreciate the depth and talent of one of our country's finest
artists." says Gallery BiG owner Jon Sy.
"After all, Independence Day is supposed to be a homage to our country's
heroes and we do regard many of our Filipino visual artists such as Luna,
Hidalgo, Amorsolo, Edades, Botong and Manansala as heroes in their own right.
"Brilliance" is the artist's way of paying tribute to the brilliance of such
Filipinos," Sy continued.
Indeed just a few glances into this marvelous array of brightly lit
translucent sculptures can give one the feeling of awe and magnificence. Could
our heroes have felt a similar kind of glow as they were shaping our country's
history? The play of light passing thru solid masses of colored crystals is
unlike any other sculpture show and can easily tempt the viewer into "bringing
this sense of Filipino pride home" by making a purchase right there and then.
But with the prices of Orlinas steadily rising due to consistently strong demand
over the years, one can hardly say that such an art investment would be easy on
the pocket.
This is where the support of PNB-Allied Bank Credit Card Corporation comes
into the picture. Through its thrust in the luxury goods sector called
Luxeclusive, they now offer their cardholders the special privilege of using
their PNB-Allied Bank Visa or Mastercard to acquire any of these Orlinas at no
interest for up to six months to pay—making it more affordable to do so.
At the end of the day, it matters little whether you plan to buy or not as
long as you go out and see this splendid sculpture show, which took several
months of careful planning and painstaking preparation before coming into
fruition, so that you can experience for yourself an art exhibit like no other
and realize how truly brilliant our fellow Filipinos can be.
Brilliance will be on display until June 24. For inquiries call 666-7755 or
