ARTSY-FARTSY

Chinese Artist Chen Wenling's latest work titled "What You See Might Not Be Real" is his take on the global financial crisis. The man gored by the bull is supposed to be none other than the ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff. ( photos courtesy of http://thedesigninspiration.com )

'GREATNESS' IS TOO SMALL A WORD

Ongoing at the LRI Bldg along Reposo, Makati City is Ferdinand Cacnio's latest exhibit of one-of-a-kind furniture and functional art pieces dubbed "Connecting With Greatness".

I was at the building yesterday for some official business at the third floor and on my way out I decided to drop by the second floor, and was uhm, floored by Cacnio's pieces. "Greatness" is too small a word to describe his pieces. They are intricate and delicate but not intimidating as say, fine crystal which one would normally be scared to touch or scrutinize.

The brass pieces echo greatness in their strength and the awe they elicit from viewers... to fully appreciate, one must have a look at them up close and personal.
