Movies, Art and Music (Part II)

ART

If the good Lord showered talents when I was young, I must have been asleep. I lack talent when it comes to art --- creative art. I am better in performing arts, but painting, sketching....nah. Totally talentless. I can't draw an apple, maybe I can, however it wouldn't look like an apple.

For lack of talent, I am big on appreciation. I appreciate art. That's why i visit museums and go to art exhibits. I am just at awe with man's creative hands.

There were paintings that looked like enlarged photographs:

Most were bursting with colors.

 

My good friend, Tiger Lila, has a thing for orange. We were housemates before, she painted her room California Sunset..while my room was just plain white. Here she is:

 Fat is art.

How curvaceous!

This is cute. Perfect for a child's bedroom:

 This, as well:

 
There were some sculptures on display. I particularly liked this:

This really caught my attention. Hand-compressed feathers on canvass by Augusto Elopre, Philippine Art Awards 2012 Grand Prize Winner.

Beautiful, right? I could just imagine the hardwork exerted to come up with this masterpiece.

Another masterpiece on exhibit was the Allegory of a Farce by Romulo Galicano. The painting was huge, and here is a portion of it:

I have secretly been wishing to pose naked for an artist. Not in an obscene manner, ha. Just like Rose in Titanic, or like this:

I think I can pull this off.

 

Happy long weekend!
