Daniel Coquilla presents his recent works in his 17th solo show titled “Laro.”
The medium and large-scale oil paintings explore the Filipino concept of play as depicted in the artist’s trademark top view perspective. Though emerging sporting events like dragon boat racing and rock climbing are included, laro is not confined to competitive physical activities. Likewise featured are traditional games such as tupada ng gagamba as well as leisurely activities like Vespa scootering. Further, there are even concocted diversions like synchronized swimming in a batya. The title piece “Metro Rail” shows how a MRT station was transformed into a covered court for the popular pastime of basketball. Such plurality of subjects indicates the Filipino’s use of recreation both as a means of social interaction and as an adaptive measure to conditions and environment.
Laro will open on Monday, 6PM, June 15, 2009 at blanc makati. blanc is located at Crown Tower 107 H.V. dela Costa St. Salcedo Village, Makati City. For more information please call or sms 752-0032/0920- 9276436 , email info@blanc.ph or visit www.blanc.ph www.blancartspace. multiply. com
