WPS at Eskinita


In a year in which protest has seemed to define the Filipino news cycle, a new online exhibition at the Eskinita Art Gallery is exploring the issue of sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea, and the Duterte administration's love affair with China. These paintings attempt to capture the climate of protest against the country's series of failures to observe protocol while passing through Philippine waters.

The exhibit, WPS, features works by Jeffrey Somera, Abril Dominic Valdemoro, Nikko Pelaez, Kathrina Ragadi and Marko Bello, among other artists. As the bored and art-deprived masses are itching to get back into galleries and museums, these online shows seem to be gaining in popularity.





  WPS runs until May 15, 2020.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

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.
