The mysterious 8th |
|
Avellana galleries latest exhibit explores the 8th
dimension
|
|
ALL year long, Avellana Gallery plans to present
exhibits on the 8th of each month, each playing around the number
eight. For example, last February’s exhibit featured the artworks
of eight couples that encompassed the works of such famous artists
such the potters/terracotta sculptors Jon and Tessy Pettyjohn to
promising visual artists Aaron Palileo and Joanne Catral-Palileo.
But for the month of April, curator and gallery
proprietor Albert Avellana has gone mysterious and has simply
entitled the exhibit The 8th. He explains that he challenged each
artist to create works expressly for the exhibit that takes
inspiration from the very title of the exhibit. The result is a
playful display of creativity.

Where is the real
Boracay?
|
|
BORACAY is one of the best beaches on Earth. I’ve visited other
much-esteemed seaside destinations such as Cannes and Monte Carlo in
the Côte d’Azur and Positano, Capri and Sorrento in the Amalfi
Coast (forever immortalized in the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald and
John Steinbeck respectively).

Picking yourself up
|
|
WHENEVER you feel down and want to pick yourself up, smile. That may
sound silly because when you’re down, you don’t feel like
smiling. Maybe you will say that you don’t want to be a hypocrite
who walks around smiling at everybody but feeling depressed inside.
Besides, what good will it do?
