An evening of masterpieces
July 28, 2005 | 12:00am
BMW Philippines recently hosted a cultural evening at the Ayala Museum where seven masterpieces, including the car companys own masterwork in design and engineering the new BMW 7 Series were featured.
The cultural evening showcased six magnificent creations from the countrys top artists like Vincent Manansala, Jose Joya, Federico Alcuaz, Lor Calma, Arturo Luz and Fernando Zobel. Each of the pieces was selected by Ayala Museum director Dr. Florina Baker to communicate specific traits as dynamism ("Whirr" by Manansala), presence ("Space Transfiguration" by Joya), power ("Transformation" by Calma), elegance ("Tanto Monta" by Zobel), smoothness ("Ferro#1" by Luz) and substance ("Thirteen Years End, Czechoslovakia" by Alcuaz).
Baker then unveiled the seventh masterpiece, the new BMW 7 Series, which sums up the characteristics of the six other obras. "As with the creation of art works, the new BMW 7 Series is the result of a creative, form-finding process, giving birth to a form that expresses dynamism and presence," said Baker.
"The shape of the new 7 series is not a traditional wedge, but rather a three-dimensional masterwork that integrates the highest quality material with the latest technological features: luxury, quality, and innovation the hallmarks of a true masterwork of art," Baker added.
Spring finally came to the Big Apple just in time for the Manuel Gamboa-Ega Carreon Two Man Show at the Philippine Center Gallery in New York.
Consul General Cecilia Rebong, assisted by Philippine Center GM Gavino Abaya, cut the ribbon and welcomed the guests, who were in a festive mood after the long winter. The two Filipino figurative painters, clad in native barongs, eagerly presented their works to the enthusiastic crowd composed of patrons from the Filipino-American community in New York and a very supportive group of Upsilonians and Sigma Deltans from the East Coast.
Lily Gamboa OBoyle, with her son Alvi Mendoza, was spotted proudly showing her brother Manuels paintings to relatives and friends. Gamboas colorful and evocative paintings of Philippine scenes drew sighs of happy recollections, while Carreons "Dreamscapes" elicited quiet, meditative reflections.
Congratulations for the successful exhibit and keep on showcasing Filipino artistry to the world!
