Alamat ng Bawang
Jomike Tejido’s 5th solo exhibition and children’s book launch
Oct 17 2009, Saturday
1/of Gallery, Serendra, Fort Bonifacio Taguig
6.30pm-9pm
ABOUT the SHOW:
Jomike Tejido’s paintings in this show weave into Alamat ng Bawang, a timeless Filipino tale of how garlic came to be. Having had four previous exhibitions mostly themed with abstract nature themes, JM Tejido’s renditions on hand-woven mats now include human figures in its dreamy landscapes that compose the illustrations for a picture book. The story, written by Segundo Matias Jr, has elements in traditional Filipino folklore such as the bahay kubo, forests, datus and townsfolk that aptly intertwine with JM Tejido’s distinct Filipino style.
The acrylic on treated hand-woven mats, sourced from a mat export company supplier to ensure its quality, has been JM Tejido’s signature style since 2000. His works have been exhibited in Paris , Singapore and Japan , where he has been a runner-up in the 16th Noma Concours Picture book illustrations (2007). He is a member and was the former president of Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan (Ang InK), an organization for children’s book illustrators. He has illustrated over 30 children’s books since 2000, some of which he also authored, including Tagu-Taguan (Ilaw ng Tahanan books 2009), Dinosaur Pop-up (Adarna House 2005), an innovative book that teaches pop-up mechanisms. JM Tejido also created the Foldabots Toy Book series, a collection of cardboard robot toys. JM Tejido is a practising architect and lives with his wife, Haraya.
