'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:

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

Modern art enthusiasts are a special breed of people. But here's what I learned after watching this clip: Even with the most limited artistic skills, you can still make something totally worthy of that coveted MoMA wall. [h/t: Pleated Jeans ]
