Baclaan has been a faculty member and prolific in-house designer whose works range from visual arts to multimedia creations. “Aninaw” allows us to take a peek into the artist’s soul with his prized piece, “Roshambo” (right panel), using oil as medium on a 32″x 42″ canvas. It is worth noting that ‘roshambo’ is another word for a game of rock-paper-scissors, a perspective on how Baclaan sees the world.

Other featured artists in the exhibit were Boyet Auditor, Brendon Baclaan, Emmanuel Iradel, J Roberto Olvido, Jeffrey Sarita, Jonathan Enad, Joseph Luna, Lino Venzal, Pepe Declaro, Pierre Famador II, Rainvelle Gemperoa, Sam Ryan Abenoja and Sergito Pautan.

Activities include live sketching, portraiture and caricature from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. From January 6 to 7 and Jan. 13 to 14, a t-shirt printing demo will be held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. There will be face painting and henna tattooing, as well as printed t-shirts for sale on Saturdays and Sundays during the exhibit. Admission is free.
