21 May 2015 - The Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong and Pintura Circle organized an art exhibit from May 12 to 14, featuring three Filipino contemporary artists namely Francis Nacion, Gerrico Blanco and Ram Mallari.

Titled “TRICHOTOMY: Union In Art”, the exhibit was the inaugural event of the newly-opened Gallery at the Consulate General’s premises. 

Mr. Nacion’s trademark one-eyed images and Mr. Blanco’s life-like paintings were on display during the event, while Mr. Mallari’s sculptures gave a new dimension to scrap materials and found objects.

During the exhibit’s opening cocktails on May 12, members of the diplomatic corps, academe, business community and civil society were able to view the paintings and sculptures of the three artists.

TRICHOTOMY: Union In Art also featured an art workshop by Gerrico Blanco and Ram Mallari on May 14. Both artists conducted lessons on basic drawing, color mixing, brushwork techniques and composition in various art materials.

The workshop is a project under the auspices of the Consulate’s Sentro Rizal, and was attended by Filipino and local youth.   END
