Can the Philippine art scene be democratized? For Vintana.ph, they continue to push for the answer to be yes.
With a strong vision for the art scene today, this virtual contemporary art gallery continues to break boundaries. This is the year Vintana.ph finally breaks away from web windows.
The gallery recently brought its platform to the public with “The Little Big Art Show.”
The online art gallery showcased works from Philippine contemporary art’s future and current greats. The exhibit featured works from artists, including the likes of Manuel Ocampo, Dex Fernandez, Kiko Escora, Lourd De Veyra, Aba Lluch Dalena, Lena Cobangbang, Argie Bandoy, and many more. In line with Vintana.ph’s vision of expanding platforms for the art community, “The Little Big Art Show” will be available online and offline.
Underneath the premiere creative hub, The Astbury, Vintana.ph occupies 170 square meters of gallery space to house works from current and future greats of Philippine contemporary art. Its exteriors are reminiscent of New York City’s subway stations, from the graffiti-sprayed walls and metal directional signage hanging above the entryway. Going down its ramp doesn’t take you to your next station, but a space where local contemporary art thrives.
This is a physical manifestation of the online gallery’s continuous growth, expanding the platform to go beyond the expected. See paintings, sculpture, and various mediums coming from the who’s who of the art scene as well as newcomers everyone should be aware of.
Vintana.ph recognizes the immense opportunity in bringing Philippine contemporary art to a larger audience. It aims to be a premiere cultural institution of Philippine contemporary art. This gallery pushes to bridge the academic, commercial, and popular aspects of art in service of the art community.
