CONTEMPORARY ABSTRACTS TAKE CENTERSTAGE
Rustan’s For The Arts launches first exhibit in 2020
With the continuing success of the Rustan’s for the Arts series, which has highlighted the collections of world-class Filipino artists Ben Cabrera, Al Perez, Paulina Luz Sotto, Fernando Amorsolo, Arturo Luz, and Anita Magsaysay Ho, the spotlight on its first exhibit of the year is on the contemporary works of abstract artist Gig de Pio.
Rustan’s has organized a recently-held affair to launch ‘Flourishing,’ a celebration of creativity featuring De Pio’s latest works, where several pieces were created specifically for the Rustan’s For The Arts. In attendance to the gathering were Cid Reyes, Gus Albor, Junyee, Al Perez, Dante Silverio, Heber Bartolome, Louie Locsin, Lior Liechtenstein, Lyn Gamboa, Celia Molano, Malee Bigornia, Richie Macapinlac, and Ross Capili, to name a few.
The collection is a movable visual feast, which can be viewed at Rustan’s Makati until March 31, 2020, and will move to Rustan’s Shangri-La in April. The paintings reflect the award-winning artist’s view of the world that makes order out of chaos.
The artist, who made his studies from materials that society has deemed as disposable, describes his collection as an appreciative view of the universe. “It is a matter of perception and where point of reference is; just a matter of finding gestalt in the random of things and events around the perceiver,” says De Pio. His abstracts on display, which includes an “installation painting” piece, illustrates the randomness of occurrences and encounters at intersections, which may happen repeatedly to become events.
Among his mentors were National Artist Napoleon Abueva who was his professor for sculpture, National Artist Vicente Manansala whom he assisted for the mural at the Coconut Planters Bank building, and Jose Joya whom he assisted for the mural at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC). De Pio has mounted several successful shows including a solo at The Crucible.

Around 30 minutes from downtown we went to the Malaysian Chinese Museum. I love the way they did the museum and how they made you feel like you were there 🙂

The most photographed in NYC now – the Vessel @thevesselnyc in @hudsonyards The extraordinary centerpiece of Hudson Yards is its spiral staircase, a soaring new landmark meant to be climbed. This interactive artwork was imagined by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio as a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city and one another from different heights, angles and vantage points.
Comprised of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs — almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings – the vertical climb offers remarkable views of the city, the river and beyond.
