The Maribago Bluewater located in Lapu-lapu City, Cebu have invited 5 members of the Cebu Bloggers Society to the launching of their bluewatergallery with the back-to-back exhibit of Mr. Jet Florendo and Mr. Boy Kiamko last October 14, 2009. Thanks to Mr. Ruben Licera of PINOYWORLD for inviting us. The 5 CBS bloggers who attended the event were Mikyu, Bryan, Jorich, Atty. Ethelbert, and me.
The tandem is inevitable.
After more than 3 decades of established bond as brothers, two of Cebu’s respected homegrown artists share the limelight in an exhibit dubbed “DUAL EXPOSURE” at the Bluewater Gallery which opened last October 14, 2009.
Jet Florendo celebrates his 35th year as a seasoned sculptor with more than two thousand artworks, 35 exhibits and counting.
Boy Kiamko on the other hand traced his beginnings as a realist and an adept in landscape painter in the early 70’s with 22 one-man exhibits, half a dozen international exposures and a solid thousand artworks in circulation in 4 continents.
Both lover of life, Jet and Boy met in the early 70’s. They took art appreciation in the streets of Cebu in 1978 and presented to the public the progressive form of their works attesting to their continued devotion to the chosen vocation.
THE ARTIST
Florendo is credited as among the most influential artist famous for his sculpture with curvaceous forms. His strength is in his ability to expose the soul of each wood piece. On the other hand, Kiamko’s legacy is his progressive pendulum effect of his paintings.
Kiamko attests, “God gave us talent to nurture, nature for inspiration, and man for encouragement”.
THE EXHIBIT
As their first back-to-back exhibit, both artists will showcase new visual artworks and the complement Florendo’s sculpture stands for every Kiamko paintings hanged.
THE GALLERY
BLUEWATER GALLERY is the only premier resort art gallery in Cebu and the home to more than 16 art exhibits of more than 25 Filipino artists.
