Gateway Gallery, the art museum of Araneta City, is currently hosting the stirring art of Punjabi Artist Jaspreet Kaur in an exhibition called Extinction, which opened last September 10.
The exhibition features incredibly life-like paintings of different endangered species such as birds of prey and big cats such as lions and tigers, and was formally opened by various artists such as Fernando Sena, Pol Mesina, Romeo Gutierrez, and Kannan Chockalingam, the First Secretary to the Ambassador of India.
“I chose this theme for my exhibit because of forest degradation and because endangered species are at risk of going extinct in a matter of years. I know that I could not stop it, but I can paint them alive on my canvas, especially tigers and other big wild cats,” Kaur said.
Extinction is Kaur’s third solo show and is a potent display of the artist’s strong conviction towards the protection of wildlife and the preservation of forest habitats. “Humans are killing amazing endangered species to get their fur and destroying their habitat by fires or illegal logging. We need to stop all this madness.”
Kaur is a celebrated artist both in the Philippines and in India. Her art, mainly done through various media such as oil, pastel, acrylic, and charcoal, has been exhibited in various locations in the Philippines and in Punjab.
Extinction is in the Small Room of the Gateway Gallery and will be shown until September 24. Gateway Gallery is the art museum of Araneta City. It is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. It is located at the 5F of Gateway Tower, Araneta City, Quezon City. Admission to the museum is free. To know more about the exhibit and other museum programs, please call +632-8588-4000 local 8300, or email gatewaygallery@aranetagroup.com.

To celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the Cultural Center of the Philippines this month of September, the SINAG 2022: Light and SoundSpectacle will light up the CCP façade from September 22-25, 2022.
Multi-awarded lighting designer John Batalla conceptualized the outdoor light show with sound design by Jethro Joaquin.
“We will interpret the three transcendentals of Truth, Goodness and Beauty paired with a soundscape of indigenous Filipino instruments, snippets of folk music and quintessential Filipino sound bites or quotable quotes from the past,” Batalla said.
Batalla partnered with Joaquin to curate the soundscape or soundtrack for the show.
SINAG 2022 is produced by the CCP Production Design and Technical Services Division. The event will create a vibrant and effervescent atmosphere on the façade and its environs, the CCP PDTSD said.
The show, which runs for 10 minutes, will open at 7pm on September 22 and run from September 23 to 25 at 7:00pm, 7:30pm, 8:00pm, 8:30pm, 9:00pm and 9:30pm.

Most would agree that an artist should not be limited by the medium at their disposal. Or in the case of Racquel “Ake” Pagulayan, the lack of it.
An entrepreneur and mother of three, Ake has been making a name for herself with her artworks that are anything but traditional. Using everyday household materials, she is able to explore her creativity may it be with paintings, sculptures, accessories, cross-stitching, beaded necklaces, or artificial copper bonsai trees.
“My art gives color and hope to my life,” Ake explains. “It completes my being and it fills my heart with happiness especially when people appreciate my works, which is why I always look for ways to make it better. It is the only thing that kept me going when I felt alone and likewise I want to be able to make others happy through my art.”
Art, Ake says, is her place of comfort where she runs to whether going through situations that make her feel happy or sad.
Ake didn’t have the financial means to pursue the arts, much less a career in it, during her earlier years. As the breadwinner of her family, Ake worked in the garments industry and one might say she was always meant to discover the possibilities of the sewing thread. It was when she saw a mandala—a geometric configuration of symbols often attached to spirituality—made of sewing threads and that inspired her to use the unusual medium for her works along with iron nails, the contrast of soft and hard not lost in her. With it, she creates abstract images and eye-catching sceneries that demonstrate her eye for the visual arts.
Naturally, her subjects would consist of common themes like mother and child, nature, and every once in a while, dreamscapes, all of which are currently on display during “Habi ni Ake” by ARTablado until September 30 at the Upper Ground Floor, North Wing, of Robinsons Antipolo.
The first of its kind since ARTablado started, Ake’s works is certainly something worth visiting for its uniqueness. The threads likewise symbolize our interconnectivity as humans and our stories are truly weaved into the overall master plan of the one creator who has bestowed upon each and every one of us the ability to create.
Robinsons ARTablado continues to support Filipino art by providing a second home for artists where they can showcase their creativity and artistic genius.
Mark your calendars, because the phenomenal rock band Eraserheads is holding a one-night reunion concert this December!
The Huling El Bimbo concert will see the band members Ely Buendia, Raymund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala, and Marcus Adoro reunite at the SMDC Festival Grounds in Parañaque City this December 22, 2022.
After making cryptic posts on social media hinting at their return, the members finally confirmed their reunion concert with its official poster which will remind fans of the cover of their first album, Ultraelectromagneticpop!
