“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
― Anton Chekhov

The artist explores the medium of rubbercut  print on textile  inspired by the moon and its enigmatic facets. The  artist molds his narratives adopted from the childhood game of  creating  images while  staring on the moon. One may see shadow of animals, flora and in this case, faces.
 The moon translated as persona with various moods.  As the moon’s heavenly transitions are temporal, so are the emotions of the portraits.
The moon as a humble heavenly body  whose glimmer is affected by the movement of the sun and the earth. A relationship that mimics  the  interaction of  people  in a symbiotic relationship. This kind of bond  is reflected in this exchange of  artistic creations  in this exhibition.  A transit of works from the Filipino printmakers to Singapore.   – mutual, gentle, and intimate.

The Philippine Association of Printmakers’ (PAP) will be mounting their first group show at Now Gallery and Auctions. Set to open on May 6, 2014, the PAP show, entitled Acid-Free is a fine collection of the more traditional prints that its members produced in recent months.

Acid-Free represents the works of the following memer-artists of PAP: Jose Santos Ardivilla, Ambie Abaño, Pandy Aviado, Mars Bugaoan, Joey Cobcobo, Benjie Torrado Cabrera, Fil Delacruz, Janos Delacruz, Noëll EL Farol, Jess Flores, Lenore RS Lim, and Angelo  Magno.

The Philippine Association of Printmakers remains as one of the pioneering art groups in the country today. Founded in 1969, the PAP seeks to promote, develop and uplift creative interest in printmaking; to establish print as a major visual arts medium in the country. Soon after inception, many artists have learned techniques and pursued careers in printmaking.  Its current president, Noëll EL Farol follow the line of past trailblazers in print, such as Adiel Arevalo, Ivi Avellana-Cosio, Lamberto Hechanova, Imelda Nakpil, and Brenda Fajardo.

Today, the PAP sits in a 100 square meter studio at the premises of Folk Arts Theater at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. It is a printmaking facility, office and training ground, a venue for demonstrations, exhibits, talks and interactions. In its 40 years, the PAP has undertaken outreach programs, inter-agency collaborations, and publications. Published catalogues that were distributed free to schools and libraries include Sining: Ukit Bato (1995), Bakat (1998) and Bakat ng Limbag Sining I and II, among others.

Their recent major exhibits include the landmark show Bakas: 50 Taon ng Limbag Sining sa Pilipinas (CCP, 2009) and Press On: Guhit + Kutkot + Limbag = Sugod (CCP, February 2014). The latter show is credited for pushing the envelope for the print medium.  The varied contemporary expressions shown in Press On show the vitality of the medium and the vision of the members of the group.

Printmaking workshop for Bliss Project

The Power of Art

“To draw, you must close your eyes and sing” ~Pablo Picasso
It was a little after 9:00 am when the kids started to arrive at the museum.  The kids were Grade 4 students from two Manila public elementary schools chosen by Museo Pambata for the workshop.  They entered the hall in a straight line; one group came dressed in their school uniforms while the other group in jeans and t-shirts.  There was an air of excitement and anticipation as each participant was given an apron to wear.
As the facilitators from the Philippine Association of Printmakers (PAP) started explaining the printmaking workshop to the kids, I could already feel the room start to buzz with energy and a little apprehension.  I have a feeling this was probably their first art workshop.

The first project started a little slow.  It took awhile for some of the kids to make their design. I guess they were a little afraid to make mistakes or were afraid that their designs were not good enough.  But once they saw their design inked, transferred to paper and water colored, there was no stopping the kids from producing artwork after artwork.  All the kids were so focused on their work that the only time they leave their table was when they needed more paper.

By the time the workshop finished at 12:30 pm, we had 4 walls full of artworks made by the kids.

It has been 2 weeks since the workshop and it still makes me smile whenever I remember the look on their faces once they finished their works; how their eyes lighted up when their design was transferred from the acrylic sheet to the paper.  I hope one or two of these kids be given the opportunity to pursue arts in the future.  I hope I am still around to see their works displayed in galleries and museums.  I hope that will continue to have art in their lives.

The Printmaking Workshop by the PAP is the educational component of the exhibition, Ukiyo: Art and Tradition held last July 17 to August 4, 2013 at the Karapatan Hall of the Museo Pambata.  The exhibition was presented by the Japan Foundation, Manila in cooperation with Museo Pambata, Philippine Association of Printmakers and the Embassy of Japan.   The exhibition and workshop was part of the celebration of the Philippines – Japan Friendship Month and the 40^th Year of ASEAN – Japan Friendship and Cooperation.
