I didn’t anticipate that my travel by train last Friday will give me an added bonus. Aside from escaping the traffic and the flooded streets caused by heavy rains, I also chanced upon an art exhibit in the Cubao Station of LRT Line 3. The exhibit showcases that entries of various painters for the LRT Art 2009. The paintings should contain a depiction of the LRT or the train and connect it with society.
.
Obviously, many paintings were for propaganda or painted to delight the management of LRTA. However, many of the paintings are good to behold and here are my favorites:
.
 |
| "Time Machine" by Clarence Cantiveros. |
.
 |
| "Pumasok sa Ginhawa" by John Carlo Jacinto. |
.
 |
| "Puno ng Kulay ang Una Kong Paglalakbay" and Ricky Ambagan. |
.
 |
| "Lahat Pantay-pantay sa LRT Sumasakay" by Redentor Castillo. |
.
 |
| "Ang Pundasyon ng Transportasyon" by Deoner Catamora. |
.
 |
| "Ladder of Dreams" by Rommel Ramota. |
those are definitely cool masterpieces!! thanks for sharing, ish! :)
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the painting activity I could have enjoyed in Humanities today. Absent ako, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteWhen was this held? I wish LRT 2 had the same exhibit. Is the train door depicted on the 2nd painting really a painting? It looks so natural.
@claire:
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Hehehe. Kahit papaano marunong din ako tumingin ng painting. :-)
@TIN:
