Jake's uncle, Jose Tence Ruiz, is a national artist whose paintings have never failed to amaze me. We went to the opening night of his latest exhibit, Barangay Humigit-Kumulang, at the Artist Space in Ayala Museum.
This is Tito Bogie's 20th solo exhibit. It runs from March 1-13 and is definitely worthy of a visit. The details on all his paintings are mind-boggling. One can only marvel at his creative genius.
The exhibit is actually a combination of recent and new artworks. Unlike the usual abstract and complicated obra maestras I've seen by other painters, Tito Bogie's works always have pressing, cultural relevance. It's impressive how he's able to integrate aspects of Pinoy pop culture and societal issues into his paintings.
And here's the man himself! No wonder Jake and his sister Nikki are both so creative, it's in their genes!
Props to Nikki for all these photos! Check out her portfolio here!
