NEW ORDER


The world exists in a manner of chaos and order. An action is equally reacted to either complement or destroy. The creations of things though start naturally as bedlam of ideas, thoughts or energy converging into a single conclave forming into a new order. Its focus is balance like a duality of concepts, of black and white, of the natural and the unnatural. A cycle that continues to bridge the past to the future with the present being the bastion of things to come.

At present, Galerie Anna intends to pursue art in a bold way by featuring a mix of the country’s leading and young visual artists. The “New Order” show is a group art exhibit featuring 20 artists namely Ambi Abaño, Virgilio Aviado, Benjie Cabangis, Ferdinand Doctolero, Noell EL Farol, Jethro Jocson, Marlon Magbanua, JCrisanto Martinez, Von Ng, Bobby Nuestro, Poch Naval, Milmar Onal, Mervy Pueblo, Eghai Roxas, Lirio Salvador, Choie, Pierre Patricio, Demosthenes Campos, Hermi Santo and Ymmanwel Rico Provinio.

With different backgrounds, style and ideology, each artist will present a number of nonrepresentational artworks highlighting contemporary world view. The exhibition thus intends to present art universally, challenging the perception of a mere décor into something that is highly regarded, keen to composition and dedicated to its form as fine art.

Galerie Anna aims to continually promote Philippine Art and the “New Order” show is a package that unwraps of what we anticipate in the future. A spark that create, make and endure in our local art scene.

The New Order will open this 18 of August 2008 at 6 in the evening and shall run till September 12. For more information and queries about the gallery, you can log to www.galerieanna.com or contact at Tel: 5679483, email at info@galerieanna.com.

QUINTOS


A potent medium of a social realist, ramifications of a portraitist and a conclave of figural manifestations will be rendered in this group exhibit. The title refers not just to the street were these arts works are to be displayed but also to the five artists namely Nunelucio Alvarado, Thomas Daquiaog, Jose Ibay, Dante Perez, and C.J. Tañedo.

On display at Galerie Anna, the exhibition “Quintos” is a gathering of artist in their own unique way of expressing art that will figure a character in the society.

A compelling artist, Nunelucio Alvarado evokes art into his viewers, producing an influential narrative creating a social repercussion to one’s belief.

Thomas Daquiaog’s canvasses strip off to showcase a hero within. His works glimpse the champion that exists in each individual in fulfilling a unique task in the society.

Jose Ibay's expressionist portraits stimulate the mystery that surrounds his art. Striking where human expression is foremost, spotlighting the human face.
Dante Perez subsists in articulating a revelation, positioning an ability to interchange meanings or connotations.

Presenting a perplexed reality, CJ Tañedo’s reverberates a calling in his character while painting a bleak fragment of disposition that lurks in the recesses of his mind.

Quintos will open on July 18, 2008 at 6pm and run till August 8. Galerie Anna is located at the 7th floor of the Ramon Magsaysay Center along Roxas Boulevard cor Dr. J. Quintos St. Manila. For more information call/sms 02 5679483/ 09274627567, email: info@galerieanna.com.
