Capistrano / Eslao / Garcia at Now Gallery

Three individual exhibits will open at Now Gallery on May 4, 2013 by three emerging artists from the Manila art scene. The three solo simultaneous shows will run until May 20, 2013.

Alvin Capistrano: God’s toilet

Alvin Capistrano’s exhibit “God’s Toilet” presents layers of random images from book, magazine or internet and from other sources. An artist who was influenced by heavy metal when he was a kid, Capistrano’s imagery revels in the unedified, the common and even the vulgar and the trashy. In “God’s Toilet,” he underscores the rawness of his art by imitating the street artists of the 1980s.

 Jonas Eslao: Curbside of the mind

Jonas Eslao’s new works are brave explorations of the limits of both the intellect and the senses. He chose wallflower animals as his subject, pulling them out of the mind’s margins, inviting the viewer to pause and gaze at the beauty of the wild.

Orange you glad, its still summer!

Round three of the thirty-yet rising temperature for the season.  To most of us, May is the tail end of summer however this doesn’t mean the fun stops.  Allow Celsius to lift the wacky and wicked side of you and indulge in more hedonistic outdoor activities.

May is not necessarily all about going out and basking under the sun. It is equally exciting for nocturnal tricks; Open Bar continues the roof deck crawl. While Toff’s World shares his summer OST that fits best when hosting “cook out” and stay-in celebrations as Meet The Pack gal’s MJ provide us with different party themes and venue. While for me, I like the sunset cruises giving an awesome experience sipping cocktails while gazing the sky burst into color orange.

So far, how was your summer? You’re bound to go wild: here are our post foolish management: (1) Whatever happens, delete it from your phone; (2) think before tweeting; and (3) review your FB public setting before posting.

Or, if you’re the type who loves to take vanity photos. …
