The power of conceptual art
Multimedia artist Emard Cañedo, explained further the role that art plays during these challenging times: “Art is a form of therapy. It helps us cope with the pandemic. In the long run, after the pandemic, those who practiced art can utilize it as a tool to express themselves.”
The event highlight was a deep dive into Conceptual Art, where the artist makes use of the materials he has available to get their ideas across. This includes exploring alternative resources like charcoal, crayons, lipstick or other beauty items, used newspapers and magazines, and cardboard boxes.
Then Cañedo, a visual artist and art educator whose works probe the current socio-political conditions through visual idioms, held a one-hour workshop on ‘Still Life: Finding Life in Art in the Time of Crisis.’ Joining him in the panel discussion was 2007 NSAC Winner Gino Bueza whose art specializes in the elements of collage, where fragmented images are merged into layered juxtapositions of color, pattern, and form.
Bueza reinforced his belief in conceptual art, saying,
“Joining NSAC makes me happy and helps me to be resourceful with the limited materials. Limited material
is not a blockade to express the message you want to say – but it can build
confidence.”
How to succeed in art
Virtual Art Interact emphasized how young artists can
further develop and challenge their art process. Given limitations in resources during times of crisis, the
workshop students learned how to use different and ‘ordinary’ materials to enhance their art
practice.
Leaders from the art world also gave their insights on and
guidance to the students on how to be a successful artist.
“Support is really important in this field, like what Shell
is doing: providing a future platform where artists can showcase their piece,” said comic book writer
and illustrator Berlin Manalaysay.
Carla Francisco, the almost-architect turned art intern,
pointed out another factor to success: “[Be] willing to learn. Ask from those who know more. The
successful artists took the time to learn, and asked the right questions.”
Filipino-Asian modern and contemporary artist Richard Buxani
agreed, then adding that “people from diverse backgrounds can easily adopt. Let’s say you have a
degree in accountancy, how do you combine numbers with your work in Fine Arts? Or if you have
a degree in chemistry, how do you weave that with sculpture? It starts with passion.”
In his closing message, Cañedo encourages his younger
colleagues: “Don’t be shy to explore ideas. What we need is to continue with progress.”
Future Virtual Art Interactions
There will be two more legs of Virtual Art Interaction:
“Tech and Art” on November 13; and “Art and Advocacy” on November 20. Those who want to reignite their
creative passion and learn about art from masters of the craft can click on
