'Fourplay II' at BenCab

If you happen to be in Baguio City through October 4th, make it a point to hang out at BenCab Museum. Fourplay II, an exhibit of paintings by Justin Nuyda, Virgilio Aviado, Edwin Wilwayco, and National Artist Benedicto Cabrera is on view at Gallery Indigo.

I spent a few hours at BenCab in 2013 and I must say that the place is definitely one of Benguet's most interesting tourist spots. Aside from the beautiful four-level museum that houses a wide array of art pieces, there's a man-made pond where you can relax and enjoy the cool Baguio breeze.

BenCab Museum is at Km. 6 Asin Road, Tuba, Benguet. Visit www.bencabmuseum.org or call 0920-5301954 for more information.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:

Stone horsemen invade River Thames

It's not uncommon to see huge art installations on River Thames: a giant fiberglass sperm whale , a floating house , a massive wooden hippo . If you happen to be in London, head down to Nine Elms, on the south bank of the waterway, any day this month, and — if it's a low tide — you'll see a group of stone horsemen by world-renowned underwater sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor , rising above the riverside beach. The artwork, titled The Rising Tide , is part of the Totally Thames arts festival and is the first of its kind to be installed in the famed river. Four three-meter tall working horses with riders are shown — two of the riders are businessmen and two are children — though horse heads have been replaced with oil pumps. The sculptures are on display until the end of September.
