Flora coming soon

Flora: Beauty, desire and death is less than a month away. The Ateneo Art Gallery is making preparations for the exhibition. We visited Yasmin Almonte at the University of the Philippines' College of Fine Arts and chose about six of her works from 2004-06 that shows her engagement with the floral theme and women's issue. Joel de Leon and Lisa both agree that her works are powerful and that she should be better known.

Tuesday we make a quick dash to Yasmin's house/studio to make arragements for the paintings we are borrowing. We should also be visiting Chelay Dans, if I can make the appointment with her for Tuesday. We'll also be discussing the catalogue that goes with the exhibition.
