BATANGAS ARTISIT PAIR SOUNDTRACKS TO 'PLAYLIST 3' EXHIBIT AT ARTABLADO
Two artist groups from Batangas merge art and music in an ongoing exhibit at ARTablado in Robinsons Galleria. “Playlist 3: Symphony of Sight and Sound,” running until Feb. 15, features artworks inspired by movie soundtracks.
Participating artists from the group Arte Bauan include Yelcast, Ada Panopio, Windsor Magnaye, Jerwind Magnaye, Cheyzer Manalo, Ruby Bagsit, Sarah Jane Tumambing, Bill Perez, Batilyo and Doy Kastilyo. Those from Arte Likha are Temyong, John Kier Contacte, Justin Magbojos, Joy Bagay, Sleygh and Ria Manalo.
After two previous exhibits with artworks inspired by their favorite songs, the groups chose movie soundtracks — with codes next to each piece that viewers can scan to hear the soundtrack that inspired each piece.
“In Playlist 3, we aim to capture the essence of beloved movie soundtracks through captivating artwork. Our goal is to immortalize the emotion and spirit of these iconic soundtracks in visual form, creating a unique fusion of music and art,” said Yelcast, founder of Visual Poetry Philippines and Arte Bauan.
The two-week exhibit is bound to resonate with Filipinos who are hopeless romantics.
The group chose to hold their exhibit at ARTablado, saying it’s an “ideal platform to showcase their work to a diverse ad engaged audience” and pointing out that is “renowned” for promoting local artists.
“By collaborating with this esteemed gallery, Arte Bauan and Arte Likha gain access to a professional, well-equipped space that enhances the presentation of their artwork. This partnership also signifies a mutual dedication to fostering creativity and supporting emerging artists within the local community,” Yelcast said.
