Layered
Images of My World
An
exhibition of fine art photographic prints by seven Filipino expatriate
photographers.
The
OneWorkshop Gallery presents ”Layered Images of My World”,
an exhibition of fine art photographic prints by seven Filipino
expatriate photographers. The artists on exhibit are Sherwin Andal,
Bernard Billedo, Annie Neis, Red Ognita, Chris Rudio, Donna Samonte
and Owen “Moetwain” Tiam. The exhibit invites viewers
to discover life through their unique, individual perspectives based
on where they currently live and work.
Sherwin
Andal is a recipient of the Photographer of the Year Award
for 2004-2005, and has been a member of the Alpha Camera Club in
Manila since 2003. Based in Canada, Andal shoots mostly portraits,
landscapes and macros of Vancouver.
Bernard
Billedo photographs people and panoramas in the Philippines
and New Zealand which he now calls home. Photos of the Tongariro
National Park and the Banaue Rice Terraces are included in his portfolio.
Annie
Neis is an independent I.T. consultant in Colorado who
studied photography at the New York Institute of Photography. Her
body of work is composed mainly of photographs focused on social
issues.
Donna
Samonte is also a US-based photographer working in New
Jersey.
Red
Ognita and Owen Tiam, who signs his work
“Moetwain,” are both professional photographers who
live and work in Beijing.
Chris
Rudio is an artist photographer working in London.
“Layered
Images of My World” is the result of a purposeful internet
networking project initiated in July 2007 by OWG curator Ross Capili.
Stressing that Filipino expat photographers should be given adequate
opportunities to promote their work, Capili chose ten promising
art photographers online and invited them to join a group exhibition
in the Philippines. Seven
of the ten chosen photographers made the exhibition cut.
“Layered
Images of My World” opens at 7PM on Friday, December 28, 2007
at OWG. Live internet chat on Apple MAC’s via a big screen
projector courtesy of Bong Almonguera of Ynzal Marketing will enable
all the artists to be present at the opening. Family members of
the seven photographers will be present for the ribbon cutting.
The
exhibit features a total of 28 framed fine art photographic prints
on Hahnemuhle, produced using archival pigment inks and acid-free
materials. All prints are signed and dated collector’s editions.
Layered
Images of My World runs until January 28, 2008 |
