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.

These peg dolls would make a cool nursery decoration for Trekkies

I'm so dad of a little girl. Look at me posting about toys and kids apps more frequently now. Anyway, I really love this Star Trek Enterprise plaything. It's made of 100% wood and features characters from The Next Generation . It's smooth, built to last, and perfect for little hands. I'm not just sure if it's still available for purchase on Etsy.

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.

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.
