Conrad Manila’s Of Art & Wine Features Solo Exhibit of Lizanne Uychaco

Conrad Manila welcomes the Year of the Rabbit with the 22nd installment of its highly acclaimed Of Art and Wine. Running from January 10 until March 18, the hotel’s Gallery C will feature the works of award-winning Filipino-Chinese artist Lizanne Uychaco in the solo exhibit titled Colors of Prosperity.

Uychaco’s passion for creating positive energy through her Feng Shui-inspired artworks echoes Conrad Manila’s vision of sharing the light and warmth of hospitality with others. The artist’s pieces carry a recurring symbol of an abstract oriental coin, once the currency of Asian countries, which evolved into a charm for luck, wealth, harmony, prosperity, and protection. Its round shape with a void square represents heaven and earth, yin and yang which was the basis of the I-Ching, the circle of life, and the Zen of meditation. Lizanne grew up wearing this coin and developed a curious attachment to it.

“Of Art and Wine: Colors of Prosperity” will be on exhibit at Conrad Manila’s Gallery C from January 10 to March 18, 2023 in cooperation with the Art Elements Asian Gallery.

Conrad Manila & CCP Unveils ‘Of Art and Wine’ Print Exhibit

Conrad Manila proudly presents its curtain raiser for 2022, the latest installment of its highly-acclaimed ‘Of Art and Wine’ art exhibit at the hotel’s Gallery C, this time featuring the works of the Association of Pinoyprintmakers (AP) in cooperation with The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP).

“We are delighted to celebrate both our successful 5^th year of operations and market leadership through the continued patronage of our guests and resiliency of our team, together with the 50^th Year Anniversary of the CCP,” shares Linda Pecoraro, hotel general manager, adding “we recognize the CCP’s continued passion and pursuit of Filipino artistry and excellence together with the Association of Pinoyprintmakers, as we hope to inspire others in our continued recovery as one nation.”

Linda stated that “’20/30 Of Art and Wine exhibit underscores Conrad Manila’s commitment in providing guests with inspired stays in a world of style and infinite connections through Filipino hospitality and culture, and champions the Filipino artists by providing a haven for creative expression and true artistry.”

Leading the “Of Art and Wine: 20/30” art exhibit opening are: Elizabeth Sy, President, SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation (SMHCC); Peggy Angeles, Executive Vice President, SMHCC; Ms. Margie Moran Floirendo, Chairperson, CCP; Arsenio Lizaso, President, CCP; Chris Millado, Vice President and Artistic Director, CCP; Benjie Torrado Cabrera, President, AP; and Linda Pecoraro, General Manager, Conrad Manila.

The print portfolio comes in two special sets, a collection of fine prints using traditional printmaking techniques by noted artists who have contributed to the development of Philippine contemporary printmaking. Each serves a precious collectible for patrons of Philippine art.

Included in the folios are exquisite artworks in relief printing, intaglio and serigraph printing. There are woodcut prints by Ambie Abaño and Elmer Borlongan, and rubbercuts by Leonard Aguinaldo, Hershey Malinis, Manuel Ocampo, Jonathan Olazo, Suchin Teoh and the late Neil Doloricon. It also includes a special restrike of a woodcut work by the late Rod Paras Perez dated 1963.

Renan Ortiz and Radel Paredes created highly detailed drypoint prints while Fil Delacruz’s work makes use of mezzotint and engraving, with portions made using a special etching technique, combining both acid and non-acid intaglio processes in one print. 20/30 contains etchings by National Artist BenCab, Alfredo Juan Aquilizan, Virgilio Aviado, Joey Cobcobo, Janos Delacruz, Jess Flores, Eugene Jarque, Henrielle Baltazar Pagkaliwangan, and the late Rhoda Recto. The etching of Juvenal Sansó is a restrike from a plate made by the artist in 1962. Also included are prints that combine both etching and aquatint, as seen in the works of Benjie Torrado Cabrera, Imelda Cajipe Endaya, Yas Doctor, Raul Isidro, Villia Jefremovas, Angelo Magno, Caroline Ongpin and Anton Villaruel. Lenore RS Lim also makes use of the sugarlift process on top of etching and aquatint.

Collographs, on the other hand, can be created through the relief or intaglio process, as seen in Kristen Cain’s work for 20/30. The emboss method, which may be more familiar to many, is also a type of printmaking technique, however unlike the rest, it does not require ink for an image to appear. The work of Christina Quisumbing Ramilo is an expertly done emboss based on an installation piece by the artist.

Serigraphy, possibly the most widely used among printing techniques, is a method of printing that uses a mesh over a stretched frame. 20/30 includes serigraph prints by Mars Bugaoan, Salvador Ching, Noell EL Farol, Rodolfo Samonte, Jun-Jun Sta. Ana and Wesley Valenzuela.

“Of Art and Wine: 20/30” at Conrad Manila’s Gallery C runs until April 2, 2022. The exhibit opening is presented in partnership with the Philippine Wine Merchants.
